Cocaine Cowboys

Dir. Billy Corben

118 min

If Miami has a signature filmmaker, it's got to be Billy Corben, whose documentaries are a deep dive into the real-life misadventures, high crimes and misdemeanors that inspired "Miami Vice." On the 20th anniversary of his 2006 breakthrough comes the rerelease of the classic "Cocaine Cowboys," which chronicles the rise of the Miami drug trade in the 1970s and '80s. For the re-release, Corben has employed AI to enhance certain facets and generate new reenactments of drug cartel confessions.
