Description
The two Escobars: "[A movie about] the intersection of crime, sports and nationalism in 1990's Columbia. At a time when drug money fueled the sport known in the underworld as 'Narco-soccer', the fates of Andrés Escobar, the inspirational captain of Nacional and Pablo Escobar, the notorious leader of the Medellin cartel, were permanently linked. When Andrés was murdered 10 days after scoring an 'own goal' against the US in the first round of the 1994 World Cup, it cost the country more than a shot at the title."--Container.
