The real story of Miami’s “Cocaine Cowboys”
Join veteran Miami journalist JIM DEFEDE and filmmakers BILLY CORBEN and ALFRED SPELLMAN as they share memories of Miami in the wild 1990s through the strange-but-true exploits, excesses, and ultimate downfall of two local drug kingpins. DeFede’s decadelong coverage of the federal government’s pursuit of Augusta “Willy” Falcon and Salvador Magluta, the Magic City’s infamous “Cocaine Cowboys,” was collected by Miami New Times in The Chronicles of Willy & Sal, a story that Corben and Spellman explored in their award-winning documentary series Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami. Moderated by TOM FINKEL, Miami New Times editor-in-chief.
The Chronicles of Willy & Sal was made possible through a generous grant from Knight Foundation.
