2007-10-18 - 2007-11-12
The true-life story of a Harlem’s notorious Nicky Barnes, a junkie turned multimillionaire drug-lord, Mr. Untouchable takes its audience deep inside the heroin industry of the 1970s. The most powerful black drug kingpin in New York City history, Barnes came from humble beginnings to make himself and his comrades rich beyond their wildest dreams, ultimately reaching national infamy in 1977 when the New York Times put him on the front cover of their magazine with the headline “Mr. Untouchable”. 
In support of the theatrical release of this documentary of an epic story of business, excess, greed and revenge, HipHopDX is giving away 5 copies of Cocaine Cowboys, which unearths the cocaine trade of the 70s and 80s and its impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once sleepy retirement community into one of the world’s most glamorous hot spots, and tripled the homicide rate making it the murder capital of the country.
