Från gatorna i Medellín till stränderna i Miami hon byggde ett av världens största knarkimperier. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. När Griselda Blanco bara är en liten flicka kastas hennes hemland Colombia in i en tumultartad period av politiskt kaos och våld. Under decenniet som får namnet ”La violencia” blir döden blir en del av vardagen för miljontals colombianer.Griselda, som växer upp på gatorna i de laglösa delarna av Medellín, präglas starkt av infernot som omger henne. Familjen är fattig, mamman säljer sin kropp för pengar, och redan som barn ger sig Griselda Blanco in på brottets bana.Med hjälp av sin partner och make revolutionerar hon metoderna för att smuggla droger – först cannabis, sedan kokain – över gränsen från Colombia till USA.De tar över marknaden i New York i början på 1970-talet och lyckas gäcka den nybildade myndigheten DEA, vars uppgift är att krossa den växande knarkhandeln.Men klättringen till toppen är inte riskfri. När kokainet blir big business ökar girigheten, rivaliteten – och mordlusten. Kampen om territorierna urartar till ett fullskaligt krig när Miami blir den nya knarkmetropolen i USA på 80-talet. Kropparna staplas på hög när Floridas soliga stränder blir nya vilda västern. De som sätter staden i skräck kallas för kokaincowboys – och den som drar i deras strängar är Griselda Blanco.I avsnittet medverkar den amerikanska historikern och författaren Elaine Carey och journalisten och författaren Magnus Linton.Programledare och producent: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsmakare: Patrick StaneliusTekniker: Fredrik NilssonAvsnittet producerades av Dist hösten 2024Ljudklipp är hämtade från Vlad TV, Rakontur, Sveriges Radio, CBS, Fox Nation, ITN

 Growing up in what appeared to be a retirement community in North Miami Beach, Alfred Spellman quickly realized Miami was more than meets the eye. After meeting Billy Corben in his 9th grade production class, the duo went on to be the youngest filmmakers ever to reach Sundance and then went on to start rakontur, a Miami-based documentary studio. Perfecting their craft of what they call ‘synthesis journalism', Rakontur has created a legacy of exploring the corruption and drug trade in the Magic City with their epic trilogy, Cocaine Cowboys. Alfred's anecdotes held us captivated as he detailed the decision to turn down a request from ESPN and how that turned into a Primetime slot for, The U. He told us about the film Broke and shared how that story might have been told differently had some reluctant athletes participated, but what really had us floored was the story about being an 8th grader in the back seat of a car and how that experience led to the idea for the Cocaine Cowboys Kings of Miami documentary. Yeah, Rakontur is the perfect name for the company because they are skilled storytellers.  The Producer, will have your full attention on this episode of Beyond the Lens presented by Diesel Films.

Alfred Spellman is a born storyteller. He grew up in Miami Beach and, along with his friend Billy Corben, he’s been making films since he was 15 years old. In 2000 they created their production company Rakontur and their first documentary, Raw Deal: A Question of Consent, premiered at the Sundance Festival in 2001. Since then, they’ve produced 537 Votes, Screwball, Magic City Hustle, Dawg Fight, Cocaine Cowboys, and ESPN’s 30 for 30: Broke, The U, and The U: Part 2. Rakontur’s films have tackled a diverse range of topics from sexual assault to college football to the Biogenesis doping scandal. Alfred’s not afraid to explore the sordid underbelly of society, and as a Miami native, he derives much of his inspiration from the real-life stories of crime, corruption, and hypocrisy that are rife in his hometown.

Defo and Lubie talk with legendary filmmaker of Rakontur productions and Miami resident, Billy Corben!

The Billy Pulpit: Speaking Truth to Power features Miami-bred filmmaker, producer, and entrepreneur, Billy Corben of Rakontur. Not everyone may like or always agree with Bill, but how can you not get a chuckle out of his famously flippant #BecauseMiami #BecauseFlorida social media posts, raw attitude, and courage to speak up when it's often unpopular, particularly in such an insanely political city such as Miami. Corben, who has produced several notable documentaries, including the Cocaine Cowboys series (#HeyGriselda) and The U, discusses why he thinks "Miami is a sunny place for shady people" (but loves it!), why being a white man in America is lit, how our community can address ineffective government, practical and pointed advice for an aspiring filmmaker, his exciting new projects, and tons more.

Episode 147! On today's episode, we talk about all things Miami with Rakontur co-founder and famed Miami Director, Billy Corben. Join us as he gives us some insight into his new film, Magic City Hustle. The film chronicles the 1st season of Magic City Casino's Jai-Alai team, which recruited former University of Miami athletes.
