Cocaine Cowboys

"Cocaine Cowboys" is a true story about how Miami became the epicenter of drug trafficking in the 1970s and 1980s, told through the eyes of those who made it all happen. The film explores the rise of cocaine dealer Jon Roberts, described as "The Medellin Cartel's American representative," and delves into the complexities of smuggling methods, distribution networks, and gangland violence associated with the trade. With interviews from law enforcement, journalists, lawyers, former drug smugglers, and gang members, the documentary provides a first-hand perspective on the Miami drug war, which played a significant role in shaping the city's history and economy.
