Signature Entertainment has debuted the UK Trailer for La Civil, a film that played at this year’s Cannes film festival in the Un Certain Regard strand. La Civil is described as a thrilling, compelling and thought-provoking drama, based on true events, from director Teodora Ana Mihai.
The Mexican drama has Arcelia Ramìrez (Veronica), Juan Daniel García Treviño (I’m No Longer Here), Álvaro Guerrero (Amores Perros) and Jorge A. Jimenez (Narcos: Mexico) amongst its central cast.
Cielo’s (Arcelia Ramìrez, Veronica) teenage daughter, Laura, is kidnapped in Northern Mexico. 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 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.
The film releases on digital platforms from 14th March. Here’s the trailer.
