To some, Pablo Escobar was a ruthless criminal. To others, a generous community member. To Sebastian Marroquin, he was one thing above all others – a father. The revealing documentary tells the fascinating story of the notorious drug kingpin’s life, death and legacy of suffering as seen through the eyes of his only son, while illuminating Colombia’s violent recent history from a new perspective. The film features deeply personal interviews with Sebastian Marroquin (formerly Juan Pablo Escobar) and his mother, Maria Victoria, and never-before-revealed home movies, photographs and audio recordings from the Escobar archive, painting a startling and intimate portrait of their family life. Marroquin, who changed his name and fled Colombia after his father’s death, grapples with the impossible task of reconciling his conflicting images of his father.

„Entel has produced a masterwork.“ (Hollywood Reporter)
