Steve Newall: flicks.co.nz editor on the true story that inspired 'Cocaine Bear'
from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB
Oddball dark comedy 'Cocaine Bear' was released to theatres this week. The film was based on a shorter, sadder headline from 1985, in which a black bear ingested a batch of cocaine dropped by an airborne drug smuggler and overdosed. Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says 'Cocaine Bear' offers a dramatised version of that story that imagines the more dangerous side effects cocaine could have on a 79kg bear.
