Very interesting to see how little one person's life is worth to the government when compared to the war on drugs.

Not sure what I expected, but it sure wasn't anything as illuminating as this. Contrast to high-energy, grandiose documentaries building up larger than life personas, they set out to deflate an image already conjured up by the 80s police & media, & undeniably reveal this player as tragic pawn in a much bigger game. The clear line of details & insider POVs from the gangsters and FBI agents involved---nay, responsible--expose a story perhaps less sensational, but somehow far more outrageous.
