Summary:  The wild, true story of the Mutiny, the hotel and club that embodied the decadence of Miami's cocaine cowboys heyday - and an inspiration for the blockbuster film, Scarface. In the 1970s, coke hit Miami with the full force of a hurricane, and no place attracted dealers and dopers like Coconut Grove's Mutiny at Sailboat Bay. Hollywood royalty, rock stars, and models flocked to the hotel's club to order bottle after bottle of Dom and to snort lines alongside narcos, hit men, and gunrunners, all while marathon orgies burned upstairs in elaborate fantasy suites. Amid the boatloads of powder and cash reigned the new kings of Miami: three waves of Cuban immigrants vying to dominate the trafficking of one of the most lucrative commodities ever known to man. But as the kilos and bodies began to pile up, the Mutiny became target number one for law enforcement. A portrait of a city high on excess and greed and a work of investigative journalism offering an unprecedented view of the rise and fall of cocaine in Miami. Iranian-American journalist Robin Farzad hosts the weekly program Full Disclosure on the American NPR One network. Genre:  True crime.
