Pablo Escobar: The Cartel King

We often default to the violence, the car bombs, and the sicarios. But focusing exclusively on the blood misses the terrifying structural genius of Pablo Escobar. In this pilot episode, we explore the rise of a man who took a disorganized cottage industry and transformed it into a global, industrial-scale empire. From sandblasting headstones in Rionegro to engineering an "Air Bridge" that moved 70 tons of product a month, this is the anatomy of a Narcocratic State.
