The #film's North American release on 5 June 2015 was particularly unsuccessful, coinciding with the 2015 #FIFA corruption case.
In the United States, the film grossed USD $918 in its opening weekend, was lambasted by critics as propaganda, and is considered to be one of the worst #films ever made.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
