Ten years have passed since the death of Pablo Escobar, the most feared
drug dealer in the world, a beloved hero to many of Colombia’s poor
and Public Enemy #1 to the Colombian and U.S. governments. For the first
time, the history of the infamous drug lord is being told from the point
of view of those family members and associates closest to him.
Culled
from over 600 hours of intimate, never-before-seen footage given to the
director by Escobar's family, with revealing interviews with his mother
and siblings, Marc de Beaufort's arresting documentary unveils Escobar’s
personality, depicts the outrageous spending of his fortune (including
his staggering Hacienda Nápoles (a compound complete with exotic
animals) and elucidates the origins of the Latin American drug trade.
Archivos
Privados poignantly captures the contradictions of Escobar, whom many
Colombians considered a modern-day Robin Hood -a candid and generous man
(he donated millions to the poor) yet also a brutal and ruthless criminal
accused of numerous drug-related and political assassinations that changed
the course of Colombian history.
