Mafia and cartel get used as if they mean the same thing. They don't. This documentary lays out the real differences using what courts, prosecutors and agencies actually recorded: the 1986 Mafia Commission verdict, the Pizza Connection, the Cali organization's 1995 takedown, and the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels today, from El Chapo's conviction to the 2025 terrorist designations and the 2026 sentencing of Ismael Zambada.
