This is free on youtube, in HD. I'm 36 minutes in and it is amazingly well made so far. An excellent insight into a modern, global, multi billion dollar drug empire.

My advice is to watch it.

Death is commonplace here. People have no emotions about it anymore. When your son is murdered you take your other son to the killers to see if they'll let him work for them.

Indeed, this is very good.  There's a touch of Herzog about the narration.  That shrine for his son was exceedingly creepy, complete with symbolic blood splatter marble centre-piece.

I also really liked the bit where they were packing the drugs up, so neatly and precise.  Reminded me of working in a factory and taking an insane amount of pride in the clinical professionalism of your packing.     

Chilling.
