Cocaine Cowboys 2

Cocaine Cowboys 2 is a sequel to the popular Cocaine Cowboys, examining the cocaine outbreak that occurred during the early 1990s. Cocaine Cowboys 2 focuses on Griselda Blanco, a Colombian drug lord widely known as the ‘Cocaine Godmother’, and one of her drug dealers and lovers, Charles Crosby. Crosby narrates much of the documentary, discussing his relationship with Blanco and detailing her story.

Crosby began as a small-time dealer in Oakland and first wrote to Blanco while she was imprisoned. As their relationship grew stronger, Blanco named Crosby as one of the senior figures in her crime syndicate. Crosby recounts much of Blanco’s rise to power and how her ruthlessness led her to become the head of one of the most powerful drug cartels in Colombia. As Blanco faced more serious charges, their relationship began to fade. She was eventually deported from the United States after completing her sentence.
