Executive producer Spike Lee takes us up river with a torpedo full of cocaine in Manos Sucias (Dirty Hands), the taut feature debut from Josef Kubota Wladyka. Three men accept a job from gangsters in Columbia’s dangerous port city Buenaventura, then journey through the murky waters of the Pacific posing as fishermen, guided by a mysterious set of coordinates. In order to get ahead they risk conflict with locals, the narco-police and their fellow traffickers, in this unbearably tense account of life at the bottom of the food chain in the international drug trade.
