Okay. But not as good as Drug Wars II.
Added 5/2/2009

Drug Wars II was 10 times better than this one. If I could find it on dvd, I would get it. I thought this one would be similar. But, not really.

Drug Wars - The Camerena Story
Added 4/7/2008

Too many scenes were cut out from the original film. The scenes that were cut out greatly dilutes the full impact of this case and the conclusion as it relates to the consequences of those corupt individuals involved in the murder of Kiki Camerena.

Drug Wars: The Camarena Story was a 1990 TV mini-series based on Elaine Shannon's book 'Desperados' and the Time magazine article of the same name. This is a fact-based story of undercover DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, While stationed in Guadalajara, Camarena (Bauer) uncovered a large-scale marijuana operation in a region of Northern Mexico. This discovery led to Camarena's death. His disappearance sparked a massive U.S.-led investigation, which unraveled an unsettling conspiracy involving military cover-ups, the drug mafias, and political corruption in Mexico.

Starring Steven Bauer, Craig T. Nelson, Treat Williams, and Elizabeth Pena. Executive Producer: Michael Mann.
