The Story of Drug Trafficking S01E02 · The Age of the Barons

Overview

The world's leading power is waging war on drugs: the United States is hitting hard. But drug trafficking never dies. It shifts, changes and adapts. As the war on drugs progressed around the world, a new generation of drug traffickers emerged in the late 1970s, more powerful than ever. These criminals were not only greedy for money, but also for power. If Pablo Escobar is the most emblematic of them all, Toto Riina in Sicily, Khun Sa in the Golden Triangle, Félix Gallardo in Mexico, have shaken up the destiny of their countries and caused drug trafficking to explode on a global scale. They defied governments and threatened the powers that be. It would take almost 20 years for governments to organize and develop strategies to bring down the drug barons.
