Juan Pablo Escobar - Apám a drogbáró
Product description
Juan Pablo Escobar, now known as Juan Sebastián Marroquín Santos, is the son of the most famous drug dealer in world history. He was born in Medellin in 1977. Architect and industrial design engineer. As a pacifist, he initiated dialogue and reconciliation with those who were victims of his father's drug-trafficking terrorism in the eighties and nineties. He often gives lectures and appeared in the award-winning documentary presented on the UN International Day of Peace, which was released in 2009 under the title "Sins of my father" (Pecados de mi padre).
Family stories are always surrounded by silence, and only with the passage of time can the truth be spoken and heard. We thought that by now everything had been said about Pablo Escobar, the drug dealer, the most terrible criminal that ever lived in Latin America, but these stories were always the stories of outside observers, never told from the warmth of the home.
Twenty-one years after the death of the head of the Medellín cartel, Juan Pablo Escobar embarks on a journey into the past that he could not answer, which is inevitably his own, to show a side of his father unknown until now: a man capable of unimaginable cruelty while loving his family to the extreme.
This boy is not trying to excuse his father, he is not looking for redemption for him, since his own story is also built from a web of violence.
