A provocative four-part docuseries 'The Last Narc' centers on the most notorious murder in the history of the DEA – the 1985 kidnapping and murder of DEA Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. Featuring interviews with government and cartel insiders, the series unpacks a shocking political conspiracy. 

Release date

The docuseries was scheduled for a premiere on Amazon Prime on May 15, but it was postponed and will finally hit the streamer on July 31.

Plot

'The Last Narc' tells the story of a fallen hero, the men who killed hi, and the one man who risked everything to find out what really happened and why.

The official summary reads, "Highly decorated special agent Hector Berellez, who was assigned to lead the DEA's investigation of Camarena’s murder, peels back the layers of myth and propaganda to reveal the bone-chilling truth about a conspiracy that stretches from the killing fields of Mexico to the halls of power in Washington, DC."
 
"Berellez's powerful testimony appears alongside that of Camarena’s brave widow, as well as three Guadalajara Cartel insiders. These men were corrupt Jalisco State policemen who, at the time of Camarena’s murder, served as bodyguards to legendary drug lords Rafael Caro Quintero and Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo."

"Eventually, they became informants for Berellez and helped him crack the most infamous murder of the War on Drugs," it adds.

Over the course of his career, Russell has explored a variety of true crime cases across his documentary and fiction work including 'Operation Odessa', which premiered at South by Southwest Film Festival and was released by Showtime, 'The Seven Five', which premiered at DOC NYC and was released by Sundance Selects and the upcoming 'Silk Road' which stars Jason Clarke and Nick Robinson.

A production of Amazon Studios and Industrial Media's The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), it has Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman onboard as executive producers.
