Pecados de mi padre

"Sins of my Father" is a Documentary in which we watch Sebastián Marroquín, Pablo Escobar's son talking and presenting his point of view about his life close to his father and the incidents before and after his father's death.

I found this documentary very interesting since it presented some important information regarding both Pablo Escobar and his family. In addition to this, it has to be mentioned that Sebastián Marroquín was simply amazing and the way he spoke about his father, the crimes and drug trafficking gave us a closer look on this serious problem and how it works. Last but not least the narration of Jorge Enrique Abello was outstanding and his voice made the difference. Finally, I have to say that "Sins of my Father" is a very interesting documentary and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

This has to be one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, I believe have ever been made. I stumbled onto it by accident on Netflix and I am so glad that took the time to watch it. The myth of Pablo Escobar is examined and the damning repercussions that he had on his family, and the family of the victims of his violence is made bare before us. The idea to document this all is absolutely amazing, and serves as a stark reminder of how power corrupts and how sometimes you have to stand up for something whatever the cost may be. We have all seen Scarface and marveled at Tony Montana excessive life, but this is the real deal and you get to see the highs and the lows.

Make sure you catch the animation at the start of the documentary which is meant to show you the journey of cocaine from the plant to our streets. Its very well done set against the backdrop of a lush jungle and gunshots.

Two thumbs up for this documentary. And another one for the sons who got together to try and "break bread" and move forward with no hard feelings.

I just finished the season 2 of Narcos and I was intrigued by Pablo Escobar's life, so I thought this documentary will only help me find out more about the spice and the highs of El Padron.

Seems I was so wrong. This is just an attempt to make some more money from the well known Escobar's life, this is just an excuse of documentary. I am saying that because the movie doesn't show us anything outstanding, other than some shots from the 80s - 90s with Escobar at Napoles villa, with his involvement in the political life and with his son saying how sorry he is and how he has become a pacifist.

The most important scene of the movie is so predictable and sooo made for politics! (you'll understand what I'm saying if you'll want to waste your time and watch this).

So, the big picture is one of a son that has become a pacifist and a lamb so pure and so tormented by his father's sins that he still makes living out of the past and his father's history, a woman that was married to live the good life together with Colombia's most fearful criminal and hasn't said a word to the authorities and she is now playing the "I didn't want to be part of this" role and some tapes with Escobar's voice, either singing to his son or talking to the authorities and swearing.

For this, I say you'd better watch Narcos. Far more accurate and objective!

"Juan Pablo Escobar has agreed to tell the story of his life with his father, Pablo Escobar, once described as the 'World's Greatest Outlaw'. It is also the story of the sons of Pablo Escobar's most prominent victims. It is the story of a country torn apart by violence and revenge, of death and reconciliation, and of a son's attempt to atone for the sins of the father." Ultimately it is up to the viewer to decide whether or not the actions of Sebastian Marroquin could ever have the impact that he so clearly desires. But as a snapshot of the human side of drug trafficking and the misery heaped upon the families of the victims, from all sides of the equation, My Father, Pablo Escobar is a brilliant and hard-hitting documentary.

This movie tells the story of the infamous and notorious drug dealer Pablo Escubar. It is told for the first time from the perspective of Escubar's son and juxtaposed with the same story told by a man whose politician father was murdered at Escubar's command.

Their story is absolutely gripping from beginning to end. The climax of the movie comes with a meeting between the sons of 2 assassinated politicians and Escubar's son. The director catches the whole meeting from the very first time they lay eyes on each other and the impact is strong.

Check out this documentary. The English version is called My Father, Pablo Escubar and was recently aired on Channel 4.
