A gripping, fast-paced documentary that dives deep into Miami's drug trade of the '80s. Engaging and packed with shocking real-life stories.

Cameron Campbell

Interesting documentary on the importation and sale of cocaine in Florida

Very informative and just flat out crazy documentary. I would recommend this to pretty much anyone interested in the premise

A must see documentary to understand ground zero for the cocaine epidemic and the war on drugs.

Wild story and of course cocaine is central to it all

A rare case of a detailed, well-researched documentary on the 80s drug-dealing organizations based on Miami.

Decent documentary if the drug war is your cup of tea.

Cool story! Interesting watch and well put together.

Crazy to think the lives these people lived. Keeps you hooked from begging to end.

Hard to keep track of anything going on. Just seems completely scatterbrained.
