Sitting down with director Billy Corben and producer David Cypkin, AS IS DVD Magazine goes in-depth and up-close with the two men responsible for thinking up the Cocaine Cowboys DVD. Coming out later in January, the DVD will tell the tale of the Miami cocaine scene circa the 1980s.
In the 80s, ruthless Colombian cocaine barons invaded Miami with a brand of violence unseen in this country since Prohibition-era Chicago ?€€ and it put the city on the map. Cocaine Cowboys is the true story of how Miami became the drug, murder and cash capital of the United States, told by the people who made it all happen (the pilot, the kingpin, the distributors...).
With an exclusive interview with the director and producer of the much-anticipated new DVD, this joint tells the incredible story of Dade County's incredible cocaine trafficking flood.
FROM THE BACK OF THE DVD: Griselda Blanco aka La Madrina (The Godmother) was responsible for bringing 2 Billion Dollars with of cocaine into the United States. Her organization was a part of the Medillin Cartel which include Pablo Escobar, The Ochoa Family and Carlos Lehder.
Griselda spearheaded one of the most violent times America has seen. Helping Griselda was none other that "Rivi" one of the most efficient hitmen in her organization. Watch in awe as "Rivi" matter-of-factly breaks down one of the gruesome 29 murders he committed. Listen closely as "La Silencia" (The Code of Silence) is broken. Cocaine Cowboys is a documentary so powerful you'll forget Scarface.
