FYC,
Billy Corben's documentaries mostly have a regional South Florida slant with a sports or drug focus. The Miami-based filmmaker's long-running series of documentaries about competing illegal drug cartels and their collective combatants, known as the Cocaine Cowboys are his best-known films. The movies delve into all facets of their lives, from how they dressed and their lifestyles, to their violent attitudes and methods and the brutal South Florida turf war that took some 1200+ lives in the 1980s.
Which of these Billy Coben-directed documentary movies or mini-series is the most interesting or, alternatively, if you haven't seen any of them, the one that seems to interest you the most?

Man, I'm all about that sports and gaming life, and movies too! When it comes to ice hockey, "Miracle" (2004) and "Goon" (2011) are my jam! Those movies capture the intensity and passion of the game, making me feel like I'm right there on the ice. Nothing beats the thrill of watching those underdog stories unfold!
