Watch The Frank Matthews Story

A legendary drug dealer who was nearly as rich and powerful as Pablo Escobar himself, Frank Matthews turned into a ghost in 1973, when he skipped bail on serious drug dealing and gang-related charges and disappeared with in excess of $15 million in cash. This feature-length documentary film features interviews of those who new Matthews well and have never before spoken on camera, as well as rare archival footage and previously unseen photos detailing the life of this powerful and violent American druglord.

The film also features extensive discussions with members of law enforcement all the way up to the highest levels of government, who have hunted Matthews unsuccessfully for more than 40 years.

The Frank Matthews Story is a 2012 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 23 minutes.
