Cocaine Cowboys 2 is a 2008 documentary film about the story of Charles Cosby and the relationship he somehow struck up with Griselda Blanco, the infamous figure who came to overshadow the latter half of the first documentary about the explosion of cocaine trade in Miami in the 70s/80s. It is a sequel to the 2006 film Cocaine Cowboys.

In 1991, Charles Cosby was selling ounces of cocaine on the inner-city streets of Oakland, California. Bringing in a couple grand a week, he was living the new American Dream.

Then he wrote a fan letter to "Cocaine Godmother" Griselda Blanco — immortalized in rakontur's Cocaine Cowboys - who was serving time at a nearby federal prison. Six months later, he was a multi-millionaire.

Charles was not only running Blanco's $40 million a year cocaine business, he was also her lover. When she recruited him to participate in a prison break that involved the kidnapping of JFK Jr., Charles knew he was in over his head.

Also known as "The Black Widow", for her propensity to permanently dispose of her men when she's done with them (or when they betray her), Griselda would stop at nothing to ensure that Charles was faithful to her. And he would learn that lesson the hard way.

This is the story of a kid from the streets who (literally) gets in bed with a Columbian queenpin. It's New Jack City meets Scarface — only the truth. [1]
