Description: How Major Caribbean Gangs Fell: The Reckoning of Christopher "Dudus" Coke and the Trinidadian Underworld. In this long-form documentary, we explore the rise and fall of the shadow states that once ruled Jamaica and Trinidad. From the fortified "political garrisons" of West Kingston to the fragmented gang cells of Port of Spain, we trace the definitive history of Caribbean crime and power between 2000 and 2020. Discover the true story behind the 2010 Tivoli Gardens Incursion, the extradition of Christopher "Dudus" Coke, and the legislative shift in Trinidad that changed the face of the regional underworld forever. This is a story of reckoning, community impact, and the high price of reclaiming the rule of law.
