- Synopsis:
To a growing number of Mexicans and Latinos in the Americas, drug traffickers have become iconic outlaws and an alternative root to fame and success. They are seen a pathway out of the ghetto - a way to realize the American Dream. Fueled by the war on drugs. "Narco Cultura" looks at this explosive phenomenon from within and investigates the music and culture which has grown around it,. These bloodthirsty and explicit odes to the exploits of drug traffickers and drug lords of Mexico openly glorify violence, narcotics and money. Like gangsta rap in the nineties, Narco is a movement threatening to burst into the mainstream. Featuring powerful footage from the front lines of the drug wars and performances from some of the hottest Narcocorrido artists (including El Komander and Buknas de Culiacan) "Narco Cultura" takes viewers behind the scenes of the most explosive and violent music subculture in America. - Directors:
