Diego Luna on Narcos, Mexican Cinema and the Conflict at the Border

The actor and humanitarian takes on a violent chapter of his home country's history as a notorious drug lord in Narcos: Mexico

Why is now the right time to tell the story of how Mexico's drug war started?

There's an urgency to stop this violence in my country. It's impossible to understand how things got this bad if we don't look back. This particular time [in the mid-1980s] defines a lot of the relationship between Mexico and the U.S.
