Bolivia’s Diabla Cine and Mexico’s We Are Not Zombies are joining forces to co-produce The Paradise (El Paraíso). The series, selected for the upcoming Ventana Sur market edition (Dec. 1–5), draws on more than three decades of research tracing how cocaine evolved into a political and military instrument across the Americas. This cross-border collaboration highlights a growing trend in Latin American storytelling, pairing Bolivian and Mexican production talents to bring a provocative, character-driven look at power, crime, and the consequences of the drug trade. The Paradise blends investigative rigor with serialized drama to illuminate the human impact of policy, violence, and corruption on communities while examining the interplay between state actors and traffickers. With Ventana Sur’s emphasis on regional projects and international buyers, the deal positions Diabla Cine and We Are Not Zombies to attract global financiers, partners, and distributors as development advances, casting discussions unfold, and a release path takes shape. As Latin American audiences demand ambitious genre content rooted in real histories, this co-production reinforces the region’s status as a generator of high-quality, globally marketable series. Updates on production timelines, cast, and release plans will follow as The Paradise moves through development and financing ahead of Ventana Sur.
