The film is written by Nick Cassevetes, writer of Blow and Alpha Dog, it touches on the rise of Ricky Ross and his role as a pawn in the CIA’s plan to fund other operations with cocaine profit.
Ross is also working on an autobiography and believes that even though he looked to gangbangers as an influence in the past, people should “Do things the way they want and be their own role models.”
