Juarez, Mexico, sits at the center of a drug war, and a colony of Mormon settlers living nearby finds itself caught between cartel violence and American politics. VICE founder Shane Smith travels to the region to meet members of this Mormon community, some of them relatives of Mitt Romney, whose family has roots in Mexican Mormon settlements dating back generations. Smith talks with locals about what it means to live under constant threat from cartel gunmen, and uses the family connection to Romney, then a presidential candidate, as a way into a larger question about US drug policy and its consequences south of the border. The film stays close to Smith's on-the-ground conversations rather than expert analysis, treating the Romney link as a hook into an otherwise underreported story: an isolated religious community absorbing the fallout of a war fought mostly over drugs bound for American cities.
