Early Life

Kristina had a difficult childhood as both of her parents were involved in drugs. Her father was a drug smuggler and had been arrested a few times even before her birth.

He kept his money in Panama to avoid laundering it in the US, and continued smuggling until the 1980s when he was arrested at his mansion in Massachusetts. He was released in the 1990s but became involved in drugs again, later arrested and serving a sentence that had him imprisoned until 2014.

It is based on the real life of Jung, Pablo Escobar and Carlos Lehder Rivas, along with the Medellin Cartel. The name of the film “Blow” is a slang term for the drug cocaine.
