El Arriero

2009 · 93 min

A grim, matter-of-fact plunge into a smuggler's double life, carried by a wry voice that never quite hides the ruin underneath.

Tagline
I ain't no drug dealer. I am a cocaine exporter
Overview
I am Ancizar Lopez, Colombian. But I ain't no drug dealer. I am a cocaine exporter, which ain't the same thing. My heart belongs to two women who were my glory and today, are my downfall.
