Square Grouper

In 1979, the US Customs Service reported that 87% of all marijuana seizures in the US were made in the South Florida area. Due to the region's 5,000 miles of coast and coastal waterways and close proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America, South Florida was a pot smuggler's paradise. In sharp contrast to the brazenly violent cocaine cowboys of the 1980's, Miami's marijuana smugglers were cooler, calmer, and for the most part, nonviolent. SQUARE GROUPER paints a vivid portrait of Miami's pot smuggling culture in the 1970's and 1980's through three of the city's most colorful stories. Directed by Billy Corben.

Billy Corben (COCAINE COWBOYS) takes on the marijuana industry in 1970's and ‘80's Florida - a mellower, more laid-back scene with equally jaw-dropping stories.
