A quiet retirement, a life sentence, and a disappearing act: The director of Cocaine Cowboys takes V.F. inside the wild Netflix docuseries and its subjects' beginnings and ends.
Over the last two decades, Corben and his producing partnerhave made several docs about the Miami drug trade—starting in 2006 with the originaldocumentary, which focused on the brutal reign of Griselda Blanco. That doc was followed by two sequels, diving deeper into the “Florida fuckery” genre the Miami duo created and cornered.Willie Falcon,
the drug-dealing kingpins known as “Los Muchachos,” who ran the coke trade in Miami in the 1980s. They were accused of smuggling of the stuff into the U.S. and raking in more than $2.1 billion over the years. They lived dangerously, two larger-than-life Tony Montanas outmuscling the law at several turns before their inevitable arrests. But as it turns out,“It’s actually the first story that we wanted to tell,” Corben says.
When the duo originally set out to tell this story in the early aughts, no one from the Magluta-Falcon orbit was ready to talk. That dam broke a few years later, whenMagluta’s longtime girlfriend, confidant, and occasional bookkeeper, saw the originaland reached out to Corben. The filmmaker was pleasantly surprised, but not shocked. The originaldoc had become a cult hit, to the point where he and Spellman fielded calls for interviews with an increasing frequency.
Bonachea was finally out of the witness-protection program and ready to talk, offering the duo a way into the Magluta-Falcon orbit. After she got in touch, Corben and Spellman began putting feelers out for more subjects, mentioning the project in an interview withOcean Drive
