Fifteen years after the release of his cult classic film comes director Billy Corben's Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami, a six-part saga on the South Florida traffickers indicted in one of the largest drug cases in U.S. history. Alleged to be the chief U.S. distributors for two of Colombia's biggest cartels, Cuban exiles Augusto "Willy" Falcon and Salvador "Sal" Magluta were accused of smuggling over 75 tons of cocaine into the U.S. in the 1980s. The high school friends built a reputed $2 billion empire that made Willy and Sal, aka "Los Muchachos," two of Miami's biggest celebrities. While law enforcement plotted their takedown, the world champion powerboat racers managed to skillfully outrun and outmaneuver prosecution for decades before the chase finally came to an end. Featuring colorful interviews with those closest to them, their defense team, and the Feds tasked with taking them down, the series paints a vivid portrait of the last of Miami's "cocaine cowboys."

Really well done series. The writers did a good job of digging into a lot of the legit businesses, some of which are still open to this day that helped wash the billions in coke money that built modern Miami.

When I saw the title I had to roll my eyes a bit & say not again… they’ve already done the story more than once plus I had read Jon Robert’s book American Desperado. But, this is a unique story all to itself. Greed, ego & pride can be dangerous & it’s why our jails are full. The subject matter sort of speaks for itself!

This story’s reached its end but this is the 4th series (1st on Netflix, though). So, if you haven’t seen, there’s more to watch. https://www.primewire.ag/?s=cocaine+cowboys&links=With+Links&t=y&m=m&w=q
