BMF: The Rise and Fall of a Hip-Hop Drug Empire

In 15-years the Black Mafia Family, or BMF as they were called, made close to 300 million dollars trafficking cocaine from Atlanta to Los Angeles. In the Hip-Hop music industry they created a front company called BMF Entertainment, which was a perfect mix of drugs, violence, and street cred that makes their story Hip-Hop's version of the Godfather. This film explores the story of the 15-year investigation by the DEA, FBI and an elite drug task force called HIDTA, which resulted in 41 defendants across the country being charged in one of the largest drug conspiracy cases ever.

Directed by Don Sikorski, BMF: The Rise and Fall of a Hip-Hop Drug Empire leans on a strong ensemble — Wayne “Way” Joyner, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, Terry “Southwest T” Flenory — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2012.
