The news about killing fields in Jalisco and Mexico in general is not new, yet it supports Trump's rhetoric of military intervention to protect America from Cartels and save Mexicans in the process. Action also promoted by the opposition to the current regime.
The first nationally documented data on such sites operated by criminal groups date back to approximately 20 years ago. For example, in 2009, the case of Santiago Meza Lopez, known as "El Pozolero," revealed the existence of an extermination camp in Tijuana, Baja California, where hundreds of bodies were dissolved in acid on orders from the Tijuana Cartel.
In the context of Jalisco, earlier reports of clandestine graves and sites of mass disappearance began to emerge more frequently starting in 2013, such as the case of La Barca, where 74 human remains were found.
In the case of the Izaguirre ranch, although it was secured by the National Guard in September 2024, it was not until March 2025 that the searchers' collective became aware of its use as an extermination camp, with the discovery of clandestine crematoria, skeletal remains and hundreds of belongings. This suggests that, although the authorities had prior knowledge of the property, the extent of the criminal operations had not been made public or thoroughly investigated until that time.

this could it be maybe a message from the film, an alternative reality... however, perhaps I am also advocating, that many people who are involved are not bad per se but have been dragged by circumstances and lack of knowledge to surrender their will, something that leads to wonder if all these people, in the end, can fight within themselves and polarize themselves in helping others (?).
