Documentary Raises Questions About Mexican Cartel Leader's Arrest

Documentary Raises Questions About Mexican Cartel Leader’s Arrest

A new documentary — "¿Es El Chapo?" (or "Is it Chapo?") opened Friday in Chula Vista and raises questions about Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's capture and surprising responses to the cartel kingpin's arrest.

Mexican authorities arrested Guzman in February. He led the Sinaloa drug cartel, which is believed to be the source of most of the illegal drugs smuggled into the United States.

Most of the drug-smuggling tunnels found along the San Diego border have been attributed to the Sinaloa cartel.
