The Two Escobars HD (esp/eng) ESPN 1 of 11

LOS 2 ESCOBAR (ENG subtitles) Pablo Escobar was the richest, most powerful drug kingpin in the world, ruling the Medelli­n Cartel with an iron fist. Andres Escobar was the biggest soccer star in Colombia. The two were not related, but their fates were inextricably - and fatally - intertwined. Pablo's drug money had turned Andres' national team into South American champions, favored to win the 1994 World Cup in Los Angeles. It was there, in a game against the U.S., that Andres committed one of the most shocking mistakes in soccer history, scoring an "own goal" that eliminated his team from the competition and ultimately cost him his life.

THE TWO ESCOBARS is a riveting examination of the intersection of sports, crime, and politics. For Colombians, soccer was far more than a game: their entire national identity rode on the success or failure of their team. Jeff and Michael Zimbalist's fast and furious documentary plays out on an ever-expanding canvas, painting a fascinating portrait of Pablo, Andres, and a country in the grips of a violent, escalating civil war.

[Aziz Bešlagić]

Good documentary, although you took the word "hyperbole" to a whole new level in the description.

"..favored to win the 1994 World Cup.." and "one of the most shocking mistakes in soccer history, scoring an "own goal" What?! I know it makes a story even more dramatic, but come on...seriously.

Y pensar que toda esta violencia ha sido y es, causada x la demanda de drogas de los gringos, y claro, x la falta de escrupulos de los que la venden, pero lo mas triste, fue la absurda muerte de un joven que a leguas se notaba que amaba a su pais, a manos de unos cobardes, saludos a Colombia, de parte de una Mexicana.
