Cocaine Cowboys - Drugs Everywhere

ONLY IN THEATERS OCTOBER 27, 2006

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."

With COCAINE COWBOYS, filmmaker Billy Corben -- whose first feature, Raw Deal: A Question Of Consent, caused a sensation at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival -- paints a dazzling portrait of a cultural explosion that still echoes as Hollywood myth, evidenced by the latest manifestation, NBC/Universal's Miami Vice, opening July 28th. Composer of the original "Miami Vice" theme, Jan Hammer, provides the score.

I like the soundtrack in this trailer. When they make documentary's about drugs or crime they usually play dark ambient music.

It's not that the drug dealers build much, much less the Colombians. It was the Cubans and Americans that build Miami. The thing is that the big money was there and the builders, banks, business, were all investing and cashing. I have a Cuban friend who was a jeweler and he says the money he did in the 80s/early90s was incredible. One thing fed the other and natives produced. Today the drug money is in Tijuana and please, look at that dump, people there are just stupid, money alone won't do.
