Cocaine Cowboys Trailer
- 18 years ago
In select theaters October 27th:
The cocaine trade of the 70s and 80s had an indelible impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once sleepy retirement community into one of the world?s most glamorous hot spots, the epicenter of a $20 billion annual business fed by Colombia?s Medellin cartel. By the early 80s, Miami?s tripled homicide rate had made it the murder capital of the country, for which a Time cover story dubbed the city ?Paradise Lost.?
