“They became the biggest threat to the organization.” Max has revealed the official trailer for a true crime documentary film called Sons of Ecstasy, debuting for streaming starting next week. The doc film takes us back to parties in the 90s and reveals true stories of the MDMA drug scene during the rave era. “Power is a drug.” In 1990s Arizona, an English stockbroker clashes with a mobster’s son over the ecstasy trade. The Gravano family shares their perspective as two unlikely rivals vie for control amid guns, gangsters, and big raves in the desert. “For the first time, the Gravanos tell their side of the story. Through first-hand accounts from inside both factions, the film unravels the unexpected showdown between the British business guru and the Mafia heir apparent in the Arizona desert.” Crazy that they actually got both sides of this to sit down and tell the truth about what really happened and how their rivalries played out. It’s yet another true crime doc joining the massive true crime streaming library, but this one seems particularly fascinating. Get a look.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Max’s true crime doc film Sons of Ecstasy, direct from YouTube:
