Sins of My Father (film)

Sins of My Father Spanish Pecados de mi padre is a 2009 ArgentineColombian documentary film directed by Nicolas Entel. It tells the story of the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar from the inside perspective of his son, now living in Argentina under the name Sebastin Marroqun.

In 2005, after declining multiple filmmakers, Marroqun met Entel who suggested making a documentary focused on the sons of the two famous men Escobar ordered killed in addition to Marroquns inside perspective. Questioned about the usefulness of Marroqun apologizing to the sons of his fathers victims for crimes he himself did not commit, Entel said the point was to promote reconciliation, the film has the value of saying, It stops here. We are not going to inherit our parents hatred. Marroquns accepted to participate in the project on two conditions that Pablo Escobar was not included in the title and that his sister was not shown. The film includes personal neverseenbefore material of the Escobar family.Entel said of Marroquin It was very hard to get Sebastian to agree. It took me more than six months to get him onboard. Basically, he felt that he was risking his life by finally breaking his silence and letting the world know where he was and that his name was Sebastian Marroquin. But, I think he understood that I wasnt just trying to glamourize his fathers image but I was trying to do something different, telling things from the point of view of his generation. I think thats what helped him to take this chance. ........
