"Right now, pivotal world events happening all around us require context within the framework of history - and the recent news of drug lord El Chapo's escape is a prime example of that," said Kevin Bennett, EVP and general manager of American Heroes Channel. "In this heated environment where the search for Mexico's most prolific outlaw changes with each passing day, MANHUNT: KILL OR CAPTURErecounts in vivid detail how El Chapo and other legendary criminals rose to infamy with a reputation of running from the law, and at the expense of thousands of innocent lives."

With special access to in-depth interviews with the agents, policemen, intelligence agents and eye witnesses who brought these criminals to justice, viewers are given an inside look at how the complex operations were executed to bring down the world's most ruthless and elusive targets.
