“Cocaine Cowboys is one of the most interesting documentaries you'll ever see, because everything that happens in it sounds like fiction. But every bit of this story of how 1980s Miami became the cocaine smuggling, murder, and money capital of the United States is real. Director Billy Corben has been behind a lot of great documentaries (ESPN's 30 for 30s Broke and The U), but Cocaine Cowboys is in a class of its own.”
