Review

 

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."

With Cocaine Cowboys, filmmaker Billy Corben paints a dazzling portrait of a cultural explosion that still echoes as Hollywood myth.

cocaine cowboys is a documentary about the explosion of cocaine and the people who grabbed the opportunity to work in this dangerous world - most of them colombian immigrants.it kicks of in the late 70's and through the early 80's with key interviews with all involved - and lived to tell the tale.if you like scarface and miami vice this is essential but be warned graphic scenes of murder victims may disturb.i could easily watch this again it is gripping with some fascinating stories.unmissable.
