Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin’ With The Grandmother

I am ridiculously fascinated with anything having to do with the illicit trade in guns, drugs, and sex. I can read books about this stuff till the wee hours of the morning. It blows my mind that the black market accounts for so much of the world’s economic trade. Most people just ignore its existence because it does such a good job of hiding itself. So when a doc comes along that deals with any of those categories, I watch the shit out of it. 

Here’s a clip that Crave had about Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin’ with the Grandmother. I haven’t see this doc yet, but I’m guessing it’s basically like someone walked into a game of Grand Theft Auto with a DV Cam.  And seriously, their Myspace profile is off the chain son.

This post has inspired me to write a list of the best docs dealing with the black market. In the meantime, If you really want to learn about this stuff, read Eric Scholsser’s Reefer Madness.  Illegal labor, drugs—he covers it all.
