Kuhusu filamu hii

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 – whose first feature Raw Deal: A Question Of Consent, caused a sensation at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival – paints a dazzling portrait of a cultural explosion that still echoes as Hollywood myth, evidenced by the latest manifestation, NBC/Universal’s Miami Vice. Composer of the original “Miami Vice” theme, Jan Hammer, provides the score.

I can't tell if the producers want to denigrate these drug lowlifes or celebrate them!

Ich hab noch nie so eine krasse Doku gesehen. Alles originale Aufnahmen uns sehr geil erklärt!! Top!

Terrible load quality. Do not bother. Completely frustrating. Good documentary. However it reloads every 20 seconds. I gave up.
