Everyone knows the man and knows all about it all the topics have already been covered but it's still good to go over again
Considering that this guy started off by stealing tombstones and cars it's amazing how far he went. But that's the one thing about the dope game that makes it so enticing even the stone cold dog with the IQ of a box of rocks can become King for the day but in the end we all know where this game ends up and that's in the penitentiary or the morgue or the witness protection program or in any other unhappy endings Johnny says give Pablo a second look because they're just in much on TV anyway
good but dated
The "Killing Pablo" docu on the history channel is better but this one covers the same story from a different angle.
Everything you might have wanted to know but did not know to ask about.
An interesting profile on one of the biggest drug lords of Colombia. Chilling in its examples of savage control and spellbinding in its story of complete disregard for and nose-thumbing at any form of authority other than his own. It is the story of a man who tried to overthrow his government, killed supreme court justices because he wanted to destroy evidence which would have gotten him extradited to the USA, ran for public office, built hospitals, schools, etc. He was feared, reviled, loved and in the end he was killed in a shoot-out with the police and the army of his country. He was worshiped by the poor and one wonders what this person could have achieved had he decided to put his talents to use in a constructive manner rather than as a manufacturer of death and disability.
