What is Somos on Netflix about?

Netflix has always consistently shed light on countless unheard stories from people from all corners of the world.

To name a few, Sisters on Track tells the story of three Junior Olympic-bound sisters who once faced homelessness before making it big, When They See Us told the story of innocent boys framed for a heinous crime, and Roma journeys the strength of a young family.

No matter what, these vastly different true stories shake us to our core as we are taught about the lives of fellow humans who persevere no matter what, and the original series Somos is certainly not an exception.

You might want to grab a tissue as we tell you everything to know about the series, right here.

What is Somos about?

Somos tells the story about the lives of citizens from a small Mexican town called Allende. The people of this town lived honest lives amongst each other, being content with their normal day-to-day lives. However, tranquility is quickly interrupted once dangerous cartel members arrive in their city, laying waste to whoever gets in their way.

Inspired by tragic true events, this original series is heartfelt yet heartbreaking as this show depicts the horrors that come with senseless violence. More on the official synopsis via Netflix down below:

"The lives of the people of Allende, a Mexican border town, are overtaken by a powerful cartel’s operations, leading to tragedy. Inspired by true events."
