'How do we document the endless chain of extortions and all the nuanced behaviors surrounding it?' filmmaker Alonso Ruizpalacios tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Ruizpalacio admits he was faced with a seemingly insurmountable series of obstacles in making the film that he envisioned, particularly in achieving an authentic look behind the rigid, insular walls of the secretive, self-protective and routinely compromised ranks of law enforcement in Mexico City.

“When this film started to take shape, it soon presented us with the challenge of how to show things that are almost impossible to document about such an impenetrable group as the Mexico City police force,” the director explained. “How do we document the endless chain of extortions and all the nuanced behaviors surrounding it that our wonderfully generous characters, Teresa and Montoya, so openly shared with us in the interviews? It soon became apparent that fiction was going to be our aid.

The filmmaker said that, historically, the film medium has been instrumental in shaping the public perception of police officers, an aspect he wanted to use to his advantage both overtly and subtly. “Film also has a fascination with cops,” he says. “Since the heyday of cinema, this profound relationship between film and police has manifested in all sorts of ways, turning ‘cop movie’ into a genre of its own.
