Trailer For Peacock's Documentary COCAINE BEAR: THE TRUE STORY
Peacock has released the trailer for the upcoming documentary Cocaine Bear: The True Story, which will explore the real true story that inspired Elizabeth Banks’ crazy-ass movie. Before that movie came out, not a lot of people knew about the story of the bear that ingested a bunch of cocaine!
As you might imagine, there was a lot of research online about the real story behind the cocaine bear, but this doc will take a deep dive into it and will pretty much give you everything you need and want to know about it! One thing is for sure, fact is stranger than fiction.
Cocaine Bear: The True Story “is the bizarre, stranger than fiction tale behind the hit Hollywood movie Cocaine Bear. It involves international drug smuggling, murder, mayhem, and a mysterious dead body in a suburban driveway wearing a watch that shoots tear gas. How a Georgia bear on cocaine and a Kentucky blueblood soldier of fortune will be forever linked is a modern-day legend.”
The documentary features interviews with those people who were closest to the case including the former sheriff who was one of the first on the scene, and the special agent whose team found The Cocaine Bear.
In the hit Hollywood movie Cocaine Bear, a huge bag full of cocaine drops out of the sky into the woods of North Georgia and is eaten by a black bear, who goes on an epic rampage. It all seems like fantasy, but it's actually based on a true story that's just as bizarre as the movie plot, involving drug cartels, murder, mayhem, and a Lexington Kentucky blueblood named Drew Thornton. Thornton turns his back on a life of privilege to embrace the dark side, turning from cop to international drug smuggler, flying planeloads of cocaine into America from South America. But one day he mysteriously falls to his death in a Knoxville, Tennessee driveway with his own huge bag of cocaine, armed to the teeth and wearing a pair of...Gucci loafers? How this modern-day Icarus and his fancy shoes have become forever connected to the cocaine bear is the legend behind Cocaine Bear: The True Story.
Cocaine Bear: The True Story hits Peacock on April 14th.
