Cast

Real life incident

Miss Bala is loosely based on a real incident, in which 2008’s Miss Sinaloa, Laura Zúñiga, was arrested with suspected gang members in a truck filled with munitions outside Guadalajara, Jalisco. The film suggests her pageant victory was blatantly fixed by criminal elements. In an interview with Complex Magazine, director Gerardo Naranjo said that he had met Zuniga, but that "I really didn’t want to go into their psyches. I guess the film has a very strong point-of-view, and we refuse to get into the minds of these guys, because I think that’s what every other movie does... I wanted to live the experience from the point-of-view of an innocent person." [6]
