Transportista: Who Murdered Captain Coral?
Beto Coral is the son of the war on drugs in Colombia. Beto shares the story of the much-anticipated peace that would follow Pablo Escobar’s death all those years ago...the story of how peace never truly arrived for his family, given that his father, el Capitán Humberto Coral (member of the Search Block that killed Escobar), was murdered a few months after the final operation against the drug trafficker in Medellin. Transportista: Who Killed Captain Coral? is hosted by Exile producer Alvaro Cespedes and is available in both English and Spanish.
