Overview
Due to popular demand we've added a screening of Cocaine Cowboys tonight after the Cast Reunion. Director BIlly Corben will be present and while we can't gaurantee it you just might meet some of the casts who'll stay around long enough to say hello and greet fans!
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 byColombia’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.”Cocaine Cowboys paints a dazzling portrait of a cultural explosion that still echoes as Hollywood myth. Composer of the original “Miami Vice” theme, Jan Hammer, provides the score.
**Please note this is not the cast reunion but a screening of the film, Cocaine Cowboys with director Billy Corben and special guests in attendance.
