Condemned

A high-intensity light into the dark, dangerous corners of international drug trafficking-with a bizarre twist   The rampant avarice and treachery in New York, Leningrad, Romania, and Colombia spill over from both sides of the law-with another bizarre twist. In Condemned, Colombian drug lords, Russian thugs, Mafia soldiers, street junkies, law enforcement, rampant corruption, behind-the-scenes courtroom intrigue, jail cells, luxury cars, millions in cash, and sex for drugs spin together in a tight vortex that reveals today's society repeating what President Franklin Roosevelt described as the "stupendous blunder" of Prohibition. Laws intended to eliminate or control undesirable substances have actually created an entire industry of criminality, corruption, and violence, permeating the very fibers of everyday life.
