The politest smuggling operation in history
A quiet Canadian and an unreadable partner pull off a smuggling operation that shouldn't work — until it does.
The politest smuggling operation in history
It’s a true story about a quiet Canadian who gets pulled into international drug smuggling in the 1970s by this strange, almost unreadable partner named Bernie. Nobody trusts him, but he keeps making decisions that shouldn’t work — and somehow they always do.
As the operation grows from Bolivia to Thailand and Pakistan, the stakes go from money to life sentences, and everyone around them starts getting caught or falling apart… except them.
Years later, looking back, it becomes less about the crime and more about one question — was it just skill and luck… or was there something about Bernie that can’t really be explained?
