Barry Seal Part 1: The American Pilot

Pablo Escobar couldn’t have reached the heights he did without
smugglers willing to traffic cocaine by land, sea… and air. The
story of Barry Seal starts in a bar in Baton Rouge in 1981. It will
take us flying over the Gulf of Mexico all the way to South
America, then back again to the South Louisiana swamps. This is the
tale of the over-sized American airline pilot who gave up the dream
of the white-picket fence to become the biggest home-grown
narco-trafficker the United States had ever seen. For ad-free
