While the narco cartels were fighting on the streets and the murder rate was becoming the highest in the world, the Colombian national soccer team made a startling ascend thanks to two men with the last name of Escobar: Andres, the team?s captain, and Pablo, the head of the narcotraffickers who started the phenomenon called ?narco-soccer.? When Colombia was expected to win the World Cup 1994 and clean-up its international image, the murder of Andrea crushes the country?s hope. The Two Escobars shows the link between delinquency and sports and reveals the surprising connections between the murders of Andres and Pablo. Conversation with film director and refreshments follows.
