The Rochester Recovery Film Festival Adds Cocaine Cowboys to Opening Night

The Rochester Recovery Council has announced that the highly acclaimed film/documentary Cocaine Cowboys has been added to opening night festivities.
Cocaine Cowboys is a documentary film directed by Billy Corben and produced by Corben and Alfred Spellman through their Miami based media studio Rakontur
Cocaine Cowboys explores the rise of cocaine and the resulting crime epidemic of the American City of Miami, Florida during the 1970's and the 1980's.
The producers of Cocaine Cowboys use interviews with law enforcement, journalists, lawyers, drug smugglers and gang members to show a first hand perspective of the Miami drug war.
Cocaine Cowboys premiered at The Tribeca Film Festival and Jan Hammer  whom you likely recall as having composed and performed the theme for the hit television series "Miami Vice" also composed and performs the score for Cocaine Cowboys.
"We are so pleased to be able to offer Cocaine Cowboys to our attendees at The Rochester Recovery Film Festival. Cocaine Cowboys offers a true look into how within a matter of months a city the size of Miami can be taken over when an epidemic like cocaine in the 70's and 80's is ignored" said Rachel Eveland  Artistic Director for The Rochester Recovery Film Festival.
Cocaine Cowboys will be shown on Opening Night of The Rochester Recovery Film Festival September 12,2014 at 9:00pm at Monroe Community College followed by a 40 minute discussion about the film.
Weekend Passes and Daily Passes for The Rochester Recovery Film Festival can be purchased on rochesterrecoveryfilmfest.blogspot.com starting June 23,2014.
