Director Billy Corben loves to get into the nitty-gritty of cocaine trafficking in South Florida.
His cult classic film, Cocaine Cowboys, was released 15 years ago and covered the prolific drug trade in the 1980s.
Now, Corben is back in the game with his new follow-up docuseries coming to Netflix tomorrow, called Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami.
The six-part saga will reveal the true story of the most infamous South Florida traffickers in one of the largest drug cases in US history.
Here’s more from Collider:
Augusto “Willy” Falcon and Salvador “Sal” Magluto were two Cuban immigrants who basically got to live out their very own Scarface fantasies in real life.
Once they were finally arrested and indicted, they were accused of smuggling over 75 tons of cocaine into the US in the 1980s — a decade that was largely fuelled by cocaine and neon-coloured clothing.
On the streets of Miami, they were known as “Los Muchachos,” and earned the hearts and minds of public favour by living a Robin Hood-esque lifestyle and sharing some of their $2 billion wealth with those less fortunate.
This, combined with their own crafty ingenuity, helped them evade federal authorities for over 20 years.
Dive right in:
All six 45-minute episodes will be released on Netflix tomorrow (August 4).
