Before El Chapo and Escobar there was Khun Sa!
Dubbed the 'Prince of Death' he rose to power in the war torn jungles of Burma and by 1990, was the world's biggest opium warlord - with a $2 million bounty on his head. But he was also a freedom fighter commanding an army of 30,000, to defend the Shan people from slavery by a brutal Myanmar regime.
In this compelling memoir, filmmaker Patrick King gives the first detailed account of Khun Sa's entire life. It connects the warlord to historic world events and uncovers a lamentable saga of global corruption, greed and a conspiracy between governments, the CIA and drug lords.
Are yesterday's mistakes - today's regrets?
King recounts his unique relationship with the warlord and the bizarre world in which he lived - a 'Rambo' special forces colonel, ruthless mercenaries, a wild bunch of politicians, drug cartels, a blonde heiress, English lords and even shoes for Princess Diana - this story has it all.
