Angus Macqueen and Guillermo Galdos attempt what the combined forces of the US and Mexican governments failed to do for 13 years – to track down Joaquin Guzman, one of the most wanted men in the world.

Guzman, known as ‘El Chapo’ or ‘Shorty’ was head of the most powerful drugs cartel in history. To some, he is a revolutionary hero and a latter-day Robin Hood, the powerful peasant who looks after his people. To others, he is Public Enemy No. 1, the first since Al Capone, on the run for over a decade. Forbes Magazine has labelled him one of the richest and most powerful men on earth. All this time over 80,000 mexicans have been murdered.

The filmmakers quixotic journey, fuelled by the specially composed songs of Jackson Scott, takes them from the streets of Chicago into his forbidden heartland in the Mexican Golden Triangle, telling his astonishing life story along the way.

The film ends up in a world where few outsiders have ever been and basic truths behind the “war on drugs” emerge as they get ever closer to this “legendary” figure.
