General Manuel Antonio Noriega was Panama's strongman and dictator for nearly a decade. He exercised the power of life and death over his fellow countrymen, torturing and murdering anyone who stood in his way. Today he is a prisoner in Miama's Federal Correctional Institution, serving 40 years for drug smubbling. This film examines the rise and fall of Noriega, from his humble beginnings in the market district of Panama City's old quarter to his multi-million dollar drug and money laundering empire.
