About this movie

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."

Ratings and reviews

It's not a movie it's a documentary I wasted my money

For years I always wondered why Miami is called the Magic city when I rented out the Movie from the library I heard the dark truth.

Gr8 documentary. By far the most informative one about the 80's in Miami. A must see!
