DESCRIPTION:Shiny Object, Fools Foundation and Magnolia Pictures present the exclusive 
 Sacramento premiere of the new documentary "Cocaine Cowboys."  Admission 
 for this is $7.00.\n\nThe cocaine trade of the 70s and 80s had an indelible 
 impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a 
 once sleepy retirement community into one of the world’s most glamorous 
 hot spots, the epicenter of a $20 billion annual business fed by 
 Colombia’s Medellin cartel. By the early 80s, Miami’s tripled homicide 
 rate had made it the murder capital of the country, for which a Time cover 
 story dubbed the city “Paradise Lost.” \n\nWith "Cocaine Cowboys," 
 filmmaker Billy Corben ­ whose first feature caused a sensation at the 
 2001 Sundance Film Festival ­ paints a dazzling portrait of a cultural 
 explosion that still echoes as Hollywood myth, evidenced by the latest 
 manifestation, Universal’s big screen version of "Miami Vice." Composer 
 of the original "Miami Vice" theme, Jan Hammer, provides the score for 
 "Cocaine Cowboys". \n\n"A hyperventilating account of the blood-drenched 
 Miami drug culture in the 1970’s and 80’s, the movie overflows with 
 cops and coroners, snitches and smugglers, reporters and importers. Most 
 resemble refugees from "Scarface," and all talk a mile a minute - except 
 for the dead bodies, of course." - New York Times\n\n"**** An uncommonly 
 well-researched documentary which achieves an adrenalized, almost coked-up 
 momentum." - Time Out New York\n\n"Fascinating and genuinely engrossing. 
 The tales of "the Godmother" make even Tony Montana’s antics in 
 "Scarface" seem like kiddie fodder". - Miami Herald\n\nThis has a R rating 
 tied to it for "pervasive drug content, gruesome, violent images and 
 language."  And the MPAA is actually pretty accurate on this one.\n\nPlease 
 note: Admission for "Cocaine Cowboys" will be $7.00.\n
