Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami 

Netflix

Cocaine Cowboys focused on Miami's illegal drug trade during the 1970s and 1980s, but this six-parter, also from director Billy Corben, puts the spotlight firmly on Cuban exiles Augusto 'Willy' Falcon and Salvador 'Sal' Magluta. They were thought to be the chief US distributors for two of Colombia's biggest cartels, creating a reputed $2billion empire by smuggling over 75 tons of cocaine into the US in the 1980s. The series features interviews with those closest to Willy and Sal, aka 'Los Muchachos', their defence team, and the Federal officers tasked with taking them down.
