The Two Escobars (2010)
Pablo Escobar was the most powerful drug kingpin in the world. Andres Escobar was Colombia's most loved soccer star. The two were polar opposites in almost every way. But when politics, crime and sport collided in Colombia's underground world of "narco-soccer," the two Escobars' fates became inextricably-and fatally-intertwined.

    A True Portrait
    I don't know how the Zimbalist brothers managed to portray with such perfection the truth behind the last thirty years of Colombian history, they did an outstanding job. I really felt moved watching this documentary made for the ESPN series 30 for 30. It reflects all the pain and suffering mixed with the joy for the game of football (soccer)and the wonderful team of players we had at that time, the best ever. It shows the good and the evil, the yin and yang of human nature in the symbol of such wonderful man as was Andres Escobar and the ruthless evil figure of Pablo Escobar also shown to have a good side. This was captured in a very objective manner again a wonderful job by the Zimbalist brothers. Although being from Colombia, some of the stories told in the documentary were just gossip to me at the time but watching it, confirms all of it as true, a sad but true episode that we still carry to this day.
