Cocaine Cowboys

Billy Corben's blood-soaked documentary traces the transformation of Miami from sleepy '70s retirement town to the United State's drug and murder capital in the 1980s. Following the arrival of Colombia's massive drug-smuggling Medellin Cartel the landscape of the city was changed forever, with a trail of bodies left in the wake of competition from Cuban cartels wanting to muscle in on the action. The real stories that inspired Brian de Palma's 'Scarface' are told by men who were there, in all their gruesome detail.
