La Civil (2021)
Despite paying several ransoms, Laura is not returned. When the authorities offer no support in the search, Cielo takes matters into her own hands, turning from a housewife into a vengeful militant. Her relentless search puts her in the crosshairs of cartel members and dubious officials alike... La Civil is a heart-breaking and important look at a country in crisis ruled by narco-violence and corruption.

    • Trivia
      Teodora Mihai met with Miriam Rodriguez, the real-world protagonist of the story in 2015. At first, the film was supposed to be a documentary but it posed too much danger for the crew to be around Ms Rodriguez, who was murdered shortly after they've met.

    Outstanding performance of Arcelia Ramirez
    Very interesting film that addresses a topic that is important not only in Mexico, but also in Central America and other regions of the world: The kidnapping of children and young people and the resulting despair of the parents. The helplessness, as the parents cannot trust anyone, especially the police and other state authorities.

    At this point, the outstanding performance of the leading actress stands out: Arcelia Ramírez

    She plays the mother who, out of sheer desperation, starts to take matters into her own hands and sets out to find her kidnapped daughter.

    The film accompanies them on this painful odyssey.

    For the kind of acting she does, she definitely deserves recognition in the form of awards!

    Briefly summarized: The film is worth seeing for many reasons.
