Tonight I watched the TV premier of The Two Escobars on ESPN. The film is part of an ESPN documentary series. I saw another one of the films in the series at the Tribeca Film Fest (this one is much better)!
The film highlights the connection between soccer and the Colombian drug lords- specifically Pablo Escobar during the early 90's. The Colombian National soccer team made a quick rise to fame partly in due to dirty money that funded the team but the players in return had to remain loyal to the drug lords. The story really is fascinating.
Espn Classic is airing the film again on Saturday the 26th at 10pm.
