Ibiza Narcos

Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 22h05
Genre: Documentary Series

Ibiza Narcos

This series reveals how smugglers and dealers introduced LSD, ecstasy and cocaine to the once-sleepy island of Ibiza from the 1980s onwards, turning the Mediterranean island into a haven for partygoers and criminals alike.

Disorganised Crime

When hippies started arriving in Ibiza in the 1960s and 70s, they brought with them not only the desire for an alternative lifestyle, but also a cavalier taste for mind-altering drugs.

When the hippies developed a steady hash trade, Ibiza's reputation as a haven for drugs soon reached organised crime groups, who quickly seized the market on the Mediterranean island.

No Sleep 'Til Wednesday

In the late 1980s, Ibiza's reputation as a party island began attracting hedonistic young revellers in their droves. Britain's illegal rave scene exploded, driven by the new drug, ecstasy.

As ecstasy took over the clubbing scene on Ibiza and authorities responded by clamping down on the drug, more pioneering traffickers decided to turn their attention to cocaine.

Giving it the Absolute Big 'Un

By the early 2000s, Ibiza's hedonistic club scene was hosting some of the biggest parties in the world. The drug groups came, saw and conquered the island.

Cocaine was king, but greed and infighting led to bloodshed, leaving behind a dramatically transformed Ibiza.

It's a losing battle every day in the restaurant business, and as Carmy pushes himself harder than ever and demands excellence from his crew, they do their best to match his intensity.

Season 4 finds the team pushing forward, determined not only to survive, but also to take The Bear to the next level.

With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust and overcome.

The pursuit of excellence isn't just about getting better - it's about deciding what's worth holding on to.
 

Tom Daley: Illegal to Be Me

Channel: S3
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Documentary

Tom Daley: Illegal to Be Me

Tom Daley visits the most homophobic countries in the Commonwealth to explore how gay athletes are facing extreme persecution.

What can the Commonwealth Games do to help?

As thousands of athletes prepare to compete on the global stage at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Olympic gold medallist and double world champion diver Tom Daley wants to shine a light on an issue that he cares passionately about.

Some competitors live in fear of horrific brutality inside the countries they represent.

With punishments including whipping, life imprisonment and even death, it is illegal to be gay in over half of the 56 member states of the Commonwealth.

His journey takes him to some of the Commonwealth's most homophobic countries to ask what the sporting world can do to help.

The film culminates with Tom taking a very public stand at this year's opening ceremony, in a powerful statement against homophobia.

Travelling from Pakistan, where homosexuality carries a maximum penalty of death by stoning, to Jamaica, where the punishment is 10 years' imprisonment with hard labour, Tom talks to top male and female sportspeople facing persecution.

He also discovers the colonial legacy that first criminalised homosexuality and the toxic influence of slavery on attitudes towards LGBT+ people.
