    • This piece was very interesting but I would love to see interviews done with people who were negatively effected by Pablo Escobar. Many families were torn apart by this man's disgusting crimes.
      In this piece he is given this Robin Hood persona, and that is really not the full truth about him!

    • i enjoyed this video a lot. i liked that it showed both sides of his story and showed that he wasn't just a money hungry drug lord, he also wanted to help his own people. i've been to Medellin and it's really a beautiful city, and although the area that he had built isn't the most luxurious, it still gave thousands of people a place to live that wasn't that streets.

    • Being married to a Colombian helped me learned about Pablo Escobar. I wish more people would take the time out to see why the poor praised him instead of listening and reading to what the U.S. history books have to say about him. There's always two sides to a story. Either way, he still had no right to take as many lives as he did. At the end of the day, no matter what part of the world you live in, the pursuit for power through money and being feared, will always be a greater thirst for you, than helping others.
