A real-life SCARFACE.

2003 marks one decade since the death of Pablo Escobar, the notorious Colombian drug dealer and famed folk hero. Here, for the first time ever, Escobar's family opens its archives and reveals the personal moments of his life.

From tender moments with the family and the rural people he helped through vicious confrontations with drug world and political rivals, THE PRIVATE ARCHIVES OF PABLO ESCOBAR reveals an enigmatic and larger than life personality shaping a dangerous, paradoxical, geopolitical game of drugs, power, and influence.

Marc de Beaufort was born in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1965. He studied applied biology at Cambridge University in the UK, and has directed documentaries for such organizations as PBS, the BBC, and the UK's Channel 4, often times about third world countries.
