As you can imagine, there has been a lot of research online on the real story behind the cocaine bear, but this paper will delve into and give you pretty much everything you need and want to know about it! One thing is certain, reality is stranger than fiction.
Cocaine Bear: The True Story “is the bizarre, stranger than fiction tale behind the Hollywood blockbuster Cocaine bear. It involves international drug trafficking, murder, mayhem, and a mysterious corpse in a suburban driveway wearing a tear gas-firing watch. How a cocaine bear from Georgia and a blue-blooded soldier of fortune from Kentucky will be forever bonded is a modern day legend.
The documentary features interviews with those closest to the case, including the former sheriff who was one of the first on the scene and the special agent whose team found The Cocaine Bear.
In the Hollywood blockbuster Cocaine Bear, a huge bag filled with cocaine falls from the sky into the North Georgia woods and is eaten by a black bear, who goes on a rampage. It all sounds great, but it’s actually based on a true story that’s as bizarre as the movie’s plot, involving drug cartels, murder, mayhem, and a Lexington Kentucky blue blood named Drew Thornton. Thornton turns his back on a life of privilege to embrace the dark side, going from cop to international drug trafficker, flying cocaine-laden planes to America from South America. But one day he mysteriously dies in a driveway in Knoxville, Tennessee, with his huge bag of cocaine, armed to the teeth and wearing a pair of … Gucci loafers? How this modern day Icarus and his fancy shoes became forever connected to the Cocaine Bear is the legend behind Cocaine Bear: The True Story.
Cocaine Bear: The True Story arrives on Peacock on April 14.
