The Two Escobars

The Two Escobars tells the gripping story of how the fates of two men, Andres Escobar and Pablo Escobar (not related), became inextricably linked. Andres was the inspirational captain of Colombia's national soccer team, while Pablo was the infamous leader of the Medellin drug cartel. At a time when drug money was fueling the sport known as "Narco-soccer," the two men's paths crossed in a tragic and deadly way. Andres' own goal in a game against the U.S. in the 1994 World Cup not only eliminated his team from the competition but also ultimately cost him his life, as he was murdered just 10 days later. The film is a riveting examination of the intersection of sports, crime, and politics, and how the pursuit of glory and power can have devastating consequences.
