The Documentary “The Legend of Cocaine Island” Premieres Friday, March 29 on Netflix [Video]

Rodney Hyden is an American dreamer: a small business owner and family man from Central Florida. But after he’s wiped out by the Great Recession, Rodney hears a story that could be his ticket out of his mounting debt: a tale of a map, an island and buried treasure. Fueled by a combination of economic desperation and blissful ignorance, Rodney hatches a plan to retrieve a possibly mythical $2 million stash of cocaine from its reported Caribbean hiding place. With the help of a colorful group of misfits – and without prior drug-running experience – Rodney sets out in pursuit of his very own American dream, with surprising results.

Directed by Theo Love, The Legend of Cocaine Island premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival under the title White Tide: The Legend of Culebra. A Sidestilt Production in Association with Dreamco Pictures.
