Ex-drug trafficker Pieter Tritton evaluates the authenticity of eight drug trafficking scenes from film and television.

He addresses the veracity of the drug-trafficking techniques described in “Narcos” S1E1 (2015), starring Pedro Pascal, “American Made” (2017), starring Tom Cruise, and “Breaking Bad” S3E9 (2010), starring Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Giancarlo Esposito. In addition, he discusses drug-detection techniques in “Blow” (2001), starring Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz, “Miss Bala” (2019), starring Gina Rodriguez, and “Sons of Anarchy” S4E7 (2011), starring Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman, and Charlie Hunnam. In “Maria Full of Grace” (2004) and “El Chapo” S1E1, Tritton investigates the human effects of drug smuggling (2017).

Tritton began his career as a little drug dealer in the United Kingdom, but his business eventually supplied several prominent traffickers in the United Kingdom. Then, he began importing cocaine from Ecuador to Europe via a cartel connection, imbuing tent linings with cocaine. Tritton was captured in Ecuador and given a 12-year term in one of the most dangerous and corrupt prisons in the world.

Tritton is currently employed as a public lecturer about the perils of drugs.
