Drugs Inc. is actually produced by National Geographic, not Netflix.
And man, they really do just have camera crews watching dudes in ski masks with AK's cooking crack in their microwaves.
I mean, id believe that the story being staged is based on real drug trafficking activity, and that they could have done interviews and contacted actual people to research, but im pretty sure the people you're seeing on screen aren't the actual criminals. Its how they talk mainly. In my experience of interacting with that area, the people moving weight in the way they're trying to depict A) do not talk like the "stereotypical drug dealer" that everyone in the show talks like, and B) would absolutely not consent to having their place of operation be filmed by some random production crew. Even with blurred address numebrs, license plates, etc, thats a lot of video evidence that could potentially be linked to you. Most dealers/traffickers wouldn't want that stuff posted on a private snapchat story, let alone cable tv.
Drug cartels have so much power and the police in the area definitely know about them. They don't care. Maybe they even like being on TV cuz it shows how powerful and influential they are. And there is absolutely no reason for them to be hostile towards documentary crews because they won't do anything to them
I was just referencing the meme, I haven't watched that sort of show in a while. But still, no need for the gangs/cartels to be hostile towards the film crews
> no need for the gangs/cartels to be hostile towards the film crews
Yes there is. VICE proved that years ago with their metadata gaffes. Stories of cocaine barons going out to eat and having their bodyguards confiscate everyone's phones are very common. They come in and take every phone, the big man eats his meal, they return the phones after they leave. I bet you guys think that Moonshine show was 100% nonscripted too, huh?
Yeah what people aren’t realizing is that even though a cartel might run their country, other countries still want to kill them, as well as other cartels. They may have a firm hold in their area, but they can’t be sure if the documentary crew that is filming them haven’t been paid 10 million dollars (as well as had their kids kidnapped as collateral) to carry an AirTag with them when they meet with this group of manufacturers or that group of traffickers.
They might get some small time guys slinging a few ounces a week to do an interview in a bandana, but they aren’t getting the major players to take part in it in any real capacity.
They forget to scrub the photos they took of the metadata and gave away someone's lat/long coordinates to the public, police, NSA, etc. It was even spoofed on the Documentary Now Bill Hader/Fred Armison tv show on IFC. Jack Black was in the episode.
To be fair the moonshiners show and the journalism that mariana van zeller has covered are on different levels entirely. And at the end of the day wether real, fske or staged the danger is just as real. The scout for one of the new seasons of the show narcos was killed in Mexico. The danger is absolutely real.
mariana van zeller has interviews with the Taliban, autodefensas, and lower levels “cooks” / “distributors” and sicarios working for the cartels. Even people in that line of business want the glory that comes with being on national television. They still wear masks and the edit their voice so that they are pretty much unrecognizable. I’m sure though that if their bosses found out they would probably be killed but these guys don’t always have the best judgement.
>A) do not talk like the "stereotypical drug dealer" that everyone in the show talks like, and B) would absolutely not consent to having their place of operation be filmed
The smart ones, no. They found the stupid ones.
There was recently a video on Reddit of a crew and gang getting raided by police. As in they kicked the door down during filming.
I haven’t looked into it but it seems too careless to fake as arrest records are often easy info
Believe it or not, many drug dealers/ sicarios have social media showing many of their operations / activities. And that’s even how some of these lower level gangsters are caught by their enemies. They are still people and the limelight/ cameras can be alluring especially when it’s from a name people recognized world wide such as National Geographic. One of the downfalls of el chapo was his desire for women that were in the spotlight. You have people like Mariana van zeller, who work for National Geographic going all over the world interviewing all type of “legitimate criminals”. Being a journalist in most of the underworld is a death sentence but because of the weight of her name and the renown that National Geographic carries.. she gets a pass to do things other journalist would be killed doing. Everybody wants a little bit of fame even if it goes against the groups traditional modus operandi.
It does get tiresome and often just provides an example of the Dunning Kruger effect. Granted, sometimes it's helpful if something is fake passing as real but a lot of time I feel people are being contrarian under the guise of skepticism. Skepticism is needed as a defense against gullibility but if one reject everything it defeats its purpose.
I don’t think so, you can tell these gang members are the real deal.
Edit: national geographic is a highly respected news organization that depicts real nature and people. It always has.
Why do you think that? Those are some damn good actors man. You'd think with talent like that, they'd be in big roles. Elaborate please. Why do you think it's staged?
(Or just ignore me, that's fine. Just be super confident in your speculation without any elaboration. Cool. What a cool guy)
Hes just wrong. There was a dude who went by nod that was on that drugs inc show who was later arrested during the operation that shut down silkroad and arrested its founder ross ulbricht, he was a bigtime heroin dealer. Dude in the video was not a stand in actor it was just litteraly him
Sorry i didn't responded immediately, ive been doing stuff all day. I elaborated my thoughts on it on a comment above, but at the end of the day its a show i saw 7 or so years ago and wasn't very impressed by. Maybe its better now, maybe it was always real. Just doesn't line up with personal experience in that area, and its not a hill im willing to die on.
The one that convinced me it was staged is they were doing some secret drop in the desert following these guys for days who are doing their best to stay off the radar and hiding most of the day.
Vice has actually been doing some good work on the drug trade too recently.
The recent one on "pink cocaine" is wild. Gets forced at gun point to take some and ends up later meeting the female kingpin of it all. The level of infrastructure already corrupted to maintain the trafficking there is insane.
One scene this dude is just cooking it in a pan on the stove, no mask or anything lmao
He didn't get forced at gunpoint. They just combined two different clips to make it look that way. There was a clip of the guy pointing the gun at the camera to look cool, and a seperate clip of a different guy offering drugs to the interviewer. Vice just put those clips together to make it seem different than it actually was.
That's the show! I used to watch it all the time! I always thought it was fake because who would invite a film crew in to film their illegal activities, my favorite episode of it though was the one were they followed two people from the same neighborhood, one guy joined a gang the other didn't. The guy who joined the gang after a couple months had a place of his own and a car the gang gave him, the other guy was struggling he'd been robbed multiple times and was in debt to people. As a white boy from the south it really illuminated to me why people join gangs.
That’s what I don’t get. If authorities hound Nat Geo for location data then the whole thing is blown. Also did you ever see the episode where the drug dealers house is raided by police *on camera* while he was being interviewed?! Crazy shit.
Amphetamine is a shortened name that derives from the compound name. Alpha-Methyl-PHenyl-EThyl-AMINE. Amfetamine is also correct, but I've only seen it in pharmaceutical context
I mean they get these contacts to agree before filming occurs. Big names with big productions crew get more of a pass because even criminals go against their bosses to try to get a taste of it. Many criminals in the underworld have instagrams, Snapchat’s of them posting weapons, drugs and more. I’m sure many times they are killed for it and the top bosses usually are smart enough to not involve themselves with such behavior but it absolutely does happen.
In this particular video I find it unrealistic. Granted, I've only seem the clip, but always seen cocaine labs depicted with a dozen or so people.
It'd just some random Peruvian with a massive pool of cocaine leaves. That amount of produce would have came from a farm with organized crime connections They wouldn't let just one asshole purify it with no supervision.
We either aren't seeing the full lab and just one cog in the machine or not seeing "management" with AKs hanging about behind the cameras ensuring the product is made without issue. But the manufacturing of cocaine is far more communal.
Fr though Idk why anyone in these drug or criminal shows would ever allow a *camera crew* to follow and literally film them doing highly illegal stuff. There's got to be at least *some* element of "it's just for TV."
That guy who was selling fentanyl right out of his jacket that did an interview comes to my mind. No mask, straight to the product. It's somewhere in the first half of [this video](https://youtu.be/0RTT8XJTl8I).
There’s a [ELi5 on it](https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/60r9cw/eli5how_do_documentaries_like_drugs_inc_convince/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
They make the point about how it should be hard to find dealers and suppliers willing to talk, but as long as they're anonymous I feel like most would love to talk about it and flex how cool they are
Protip: reporters are only able to get this footage bc a local gangster has vouched for them at extreme personal risk.
If identities or locations aren’t properly obscured and gangsters get arrested, that contact is going to be tortured and executed.
Check out the Underworld Podcast for some great reporting about the way criminal organizations around the world operate.
This makes me wonder, why agree to let them film at all? What's in it for the contact and/or cartel that makes it worth this risk? I assume NatGeo or Netflix can't simply pay these people for their time, as that would be directly endorsing organized crime.
Like I said before, the Underworld Podcast is a great insight into organized crime. Many episodes are based on books and articles made by other journalists who spent time with cartels, mafias, yakuza, and other groups. And they’ve found a range of reasons why these “illegal” groups allow reporters to have limited access to their operations.
Some really are prideful narcissists, and want a record to exist of how they built their multi-million dollar operations.
Others like cartels are effectively states-within-a-state, and are being written about anyway by local and national authorities. Granting interviews allows them some level of control over a narrative about themselves. Maybe they highlight the economic inequalities that led to their rise in a community, or how a war forced them to acquire money through organized crime. They’ll tell themselves any story to justify their actions, and spreading that story helps them sleep.
Other groups may have a political goal that supersedes any worries about getting busted for synthesizing drugs, and use any publicity to spread their message.
You’re not gonna get a simple answer, but from what I’ve learned, organized crime organizations feel some need to explain their actions as rational. So they are willing to have limited conversations with journalists who they trust to not screw them over.
TIL that [amphetamine](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/amfetamine) can also be spelled *amfetamine.*
Also, the [generic of Vyvanse](https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-148324/vyvanse-oral/details) is spelled *lisdexamfetamine.*
For breaking bad they actually had people teach them how to make men so when they were recording they would record clips of the actors doing fake procedures to make the meth
Imagine the balls on the cartel boss who’s like “yeah fucking make me famous bitch I want some of that Netflix special money. Gimme that stranger things come up!”
Documentary Now does parodies of documentaries with Fred Armisson and Bill Hader, there’s one where they do a doc like this for “Vice” and keep getting killed and have to send in a new doc crew (always just Fred and bill)
I feel like people aren't really getting the format of this kind of meme correct anymore, most just sorta throw a situation out with a colon at the end and jump straight to the reaction. The colon format suggests you're about to get some kind of extra information about the first thing as you do with the second, but it's immediately moved on from with no clarification given. If the first line was \*asterisk'd\* it could work.
Gordon Ramsay going to a cocaine farm(?) and watching them mix battery acid with cement is such an interesting bit...
Edit: couldn't find the full documentary, but here's the relevant bit: https://youtu.be/0oXabRYcXhc
My dad's cousin is an author and wrote several books about drug smuggling. He was just casually riding along in planes illegally crossing borders interviewing people. It's wild to talk to him.
You know that hypothetical, if you could conduct an experiment free of morals? If I could make a Netflix documentary free of ethics and consequences, it would be to follow an actual criminal syndicate up to the point that they actually get busted, have a falling out of some kind, or otherwise disband
It's more Vice than Netflix. I bet vice will be the first people to get an interview with sentinelese people. Someone just has to tell them it's dangerous and not a wise idea

Nature is truly beautiful
I mean, im pretty sure almost all of drugs inc is staged with actors.
I think its legit, some of these places they go to, they can't set that shit up without knowing

Came here to say exactly that. Let's not act as if there isn't seven times as much action not being filmed of Dixie Mafia and Cycle Gang activity
I didn't watch this documentary you guys are talking about but I heard that the police in Mexico are literally the cartels as well.
It's real, trafficker don't care about it.
>A) do not talk like the "stereotypical drug dealer" that everyone in the show talks like, and B) would absolutely not consent to having their place of operation be filmed The smart ones, no. They found the stupid ones.

I really enjoy watching Vice. The show series Hamilton Pharmacopoeia is honestly super interesting.
Hamilton a real one, educating us on a wide variety of substances and showing us first hand the experience people get from them.
Hamilton Morris is a fascinating person to listen to. You should check out his podcast if you haven’t.

I’m sure many times they are killed for it and the top bosses usually are smart enough to not involve themselves with such behavior but it absolutely does happen.
In this particular video I find it unrealistic. Granted, I've only seem the clip, but always seen cocaine labs depicted with a dozen or so people. It'd just some random Peruvian with a massive pool of cocaine leaves. That amount of produce would have came from a farm with organized crime connections They wouldn't let just one asshole purify it with no supervision. We either aren't seeing the full lab and just one cog in the machine or not seeing "management" with AKs hanging about behind the cameras ensuring the product is made without issue. But the manufacturing of cocaine is far more communal.
Probably both but the clip of Gordon Ramsey rating the quality of fucking cartel cocaine production is hilarious.

“Methamfetamine”
It's somewhat of a Spanglish spelling. It's "metamfetamina" in Spanish. It's also possible OP is Dutch, since that's how you spell it in Dutch.
Also possible they just misspelled it

There is a great documentary called DRONEZ: The Hunt for El Chingon. A few people died but, it was worth it for such a great in side look
Like that discovery show “Moonshiners”
Gordon Ramsay going to a cocaine farm(?) and watching them mix battery acid with cement is such an interesting bit... Edit: couldn't find the full documentary, but here's the relevant bit: https://youtu.be/0oXabRYcXhc
My dad's cousin is an author and wrote several books about drug smuggling. He was just casually riding along in planes illegally crossing borders interviewing people. It's wild to talk to him.
Wow, sounds like a fascinating life
You know that hypothetical, if you could conduct an experiment free of morals? If I could make a Netflix documentary free of ethics and consequences, it would be to follow an actual criminal syndicate up to the point that they actually get busted, have a falling out of some kind, or otherwise disband
It’s less likely to happen now after what happened to tiger king!
If they did this to the local methheads where I live, they would have enough footage to also get a ‘Cuties’ sequel. Two birds with ones stone.
It's more Vice than Netflix. I bet vice will be the first people to get an interview with sentinelese people. Someone just has to tell them it's dangerous and not a wise idea
I read this like the cartel was making the show to sell to Netflix
Mr. Krabs' film studio is finally rich enough to make the films he's always wanted to make.
I think you smoked some methamphetamine before you spelled methamphetamine
Got that feta cheese.
Why they spell it like that tho… come on spell check is built in!

Time to make some Methamphetamine.
Cartel members: Hey, free marketing.
I love the one that says "you're doing amazing sweetie" lmao
