The story of Pablo Escobar is not only a part of the history of Colombia, but also how one man influenced American politics and power structures throughout the world. A man who became one of the most wanted criminals on the planet; yet he managed to gain the hearts of many in Colombia, who still mourn his death. Playing a key role in the political life of the nation, Escobar wrote many chapters of the history of Colombia in blood. Now, for the first time, we will hear personal accounts of those who came face to face with Escobar, and lived to tell their story. From politicians kidnapped by Escobar, DEA agents who pursued him, sons of Escobar’s victims, to rival cartel members, and even Escobar’s own son, each personal account brings us closer to understanding the man behind the name: Pablo Escobar.

This groundbreaking two-part series documents what it’s like to serve a long-term prison sentence, from the moment the judge delivers the sentence through to release. Filmed over a year with unprecedented access to Scottish courts and prisons, men convicted of murder and serving a mandatory life sentence speak candidly about their crimes, their struggles in prison and their remorse – or lack of it.
Trudie Adams asked her mum to wait up for her the night she left the party at Newport Surf Club and put her thumb out into the traffic on Barrenjoey Road. She never made it home... Almost 40 years on, Trudie’s disappearance remains a mystery, an infamous cold case that stands in stark relief against the cool surf culture, the gleaming new suburbs and malls of Sydney’s Northern Beaches in 1978. Over the years, more and more facts have emerged. They combine to make the picture more intriguing and chilling. There is far more to this story than just an unsolved murder. This true crime story begins with Trudie and what may have happened to her long ago. But it leads, over three compelling hours, into the dark heart of Australia now: high-level corruption, cover-ups, massive drug deals and many murders in which the bodies have not remained hidden.
