Video: La recaptura de "El Chapo" en 19 minutos (Excélsior TV)

Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman wanted to make a biopic about himself. Instead, authorities produced their own video about his Hollywood-like recapture.

The attorney general's office released on Wednesday a 19-minute documentary-like video, with somber background music, 3D animation and a man's baritone voice narrating the investigation that led to the arrest.

The video opens with the Altiplano maximum-security prison in central Mexico from where Guzman, 58, escaped in July and ends with images of him back at the penitentiary.

An animation reconstructs the moment he slipped down a hole in his cell shower and rode a carriage pushed by a motorcycle mounted on rails inside a 1.5 kilometer (one-mile) tunnel.

The video shows never-before-seen images of the moment Guzman and his security chief, Jorge Ivan Gastelum, alias "Cholo Ivan," steal a white car while fleeing a military manhunt in the seaside city of Los Mochis, in his northwestern home state of Sinaloa.
