Television Show: Narcos
Television Show: Narcos
My favorite show is a show on Netflix called Narcos. A story based on a famous drug lord from Columbia named Pablo Escobar. The actor that plays the role of Pablo Escobar is named Wagner Moura. The show depicts the daily life and movement of cocaine around Escobar. The show has a five star rating on Netflix. Since the first release on August 28, 2015, Narcos has become impressively popular.

    How Is Traffik Related To Sociology

    Mexican Drug Cartels

    Crime in Mexico has existed for years now, but it became more noticeable during the time of Pablo Escobar. At one point in history he was the main transporter for Cocaine coming directly from Colombia. As enforcement agencies kicked up their efforts to stop this drug trade, especially in Florida, Escobar formed a partnership with Mexico-based traffickers to transport their drugs through Mexico and into the United States. Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo is known as “The Godfather” of the Cartels seeing how he established the Guadalajara Cartel, which is recognized as the first Mexican cartel and were the first to link up with Escobar to transport cocaine through Mexico. It is said that once Mexico became involved in the drug trade with Colombia it opened a door for Mexico to become independent and they began to branch out on their own. After a while the Guadalajara Cartel took a heavy blow when one of its members was arrested, so it was decided to split it up into three separate groups. As a result the Tijuana, Juarez, Gulf, and Sinaloa Cartel came to exist, after that it was a domino effect and the fight for…
