Cocaine Cowboys
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.

Surprisingly good
Excellent look at 'modern' Miami. The 'skills' of the drug lords were matched by the incompetence of police services. The dealer and traffickers... read more »
