GERMAN COCAINE COWBOY

In the organizer's words:

TV series - D 2024 - 2x44' (4x44') - OmU

Director: Peter Dörfler

In the late 80s, Joe Marx befriended a Colombian drug dealer in a Hamburg prison. Once free, he used this connection to import large quantities of cocaine to Europe and rise to the top of the Cali cartel - with the international police always just one step behind him. In this four-part documentary series, Peter Dörfler (ACHTERBAHN, THE BIG EDEN) brings this astonishing and breathless criminal career back to life with lively interviews and atmospheric re-enactments.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.
