Square Grouper - The Godfathers Of Ganja

The incredible true story of the 1970s pot smuggler culture.

In 1979, the U.S. Customs Service reported that 87% of all marijuana seizures in the U.S. were made in the South Florida area. Due to the regions 5,000 miles of coast and coastal waterways and close proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America, South Florida was a pot smugglers paradise. In sharp contrast to the brazenly violent cocaine cowboys of the 1980s, Miamis marijuana smugglers were cooler, calmer, and for the most part, nonviolent. Square Grouper paints a vivid portrait of Miamis pot smuggling culture in the 70s and 80s and its major players: the smuggling Black Tuna Gang, the pot dealing Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church and the tiny fishing village Everglades City.
