The Nazi Cartel S1
Fresh from its world premiere in competition at CannesSeries 2025, The Nazi Cartel is set in 1980, when a notorious Nazi and a Narco overthrew the Bolivian government and established the first cocaine state, paving the way for figures like Pablo Escobar and the drug cartels of today.
Directed by Emmy winner Justin Webster (Gabo: The Creation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez), the three-part documentary centres on three men: notorious Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie; Roberto Suarez, a Bolivian businessman who controlled 90% of the world’s cocaine trade at the time; and DEA undercover agent Michael Levine, who sought to expose and destroy them.
“The Nazi Cartel highlights an unknown connection between Nazism and drug trafficking, at a time when we wish both would be nothing but closed chapters in our history books,” says CannesSeries. “Through unprecedented testimonies and powerful historical reminders, this is a series that is as informative as it is chilling.”
