PABLO ESCOBAR SON SERIES

The Netflix series Narcos featured your father’s story. Justice should be done, but not always necessarily provide tools to repair the souls of those who suffered. About finding a way to stop the pain and hate. Forgiving is not about forgetting things. I have already experienced that from more than 100 families who were victims of my father’s actions. Who else is there to ask for forgiveness? I believe in forgiving. I took moral responsibility for his sins and crimes. No apology is enough as my father had inflicted so much pain to those families. You have reached out to the families and relatives of those your father killed. So, I can say that love saved me from being a bad man as my father was. I received a lot of love from my mother, too. And, at the same time, he did not give me a good example outside home. How did a son grow up sane with that sort of knowledge? You believe that your father ordered the assassination of 2,000 people. So, the only option to escape from violence was a legal change of identity. We asked the help of the Vatican, the International Red Cross, the United Nations, and nobody helped us. The airlines did not sell us airplane tickets. But, the whole world did not want to give us a small place on earth to live. Why? Did the long shadow of being your father’s son get too much for you? You changed your name from Juan Pablo Escobar to Sebastián Marroquín. He got featured in a documentary Sins of My Father in 2009, and authored the book, Pablo Escobar: My Father, in 2014.

Marroquín studied industrial design and became an architect. He, along with his family, moved to Argentina in 1994, after his father’s death.

This is far from the story of a child seeking redemption, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and his attempt to come to terms with it.Juan Pablo Escobar, now known as Sebastián Marroquín, is the son of slain Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. With his change of heart, he denounced the Pablo Escobar legacy. quickly recognised that meant following in his father's footsteps-something neither of them had ever wanted. When Escobar died, his then teenage son vowed revenge. In a deeply personal exploration of his father, we see the inner world of a man who was celebrated by some as a benevolent Robin Hood figure and by others, as a dangerous leader of the most ruthless mafia organisation in human history, reaping vengeance and death on anyone that might stand in his way. Here we find a man of contradictions – generosity and infinite love for his family yet capable of the most extreme acts of cruelty and violence. Now, more than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with Escobar, his son brings us the dramatic truth as never before. But these versions have always been told from the outside, only capturing half the truth, and never from the intimacy of his own home. Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of the most infamous drug lord of all time, Pablo Escobar – from books to film to the cult series ‘Narcos’. THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM PABLO ESCOBAR’S SON Pablo Escobar’s son reveals the real man behind the leader of the Medellín cartel's legend in this international bestselling, deeply personal memoir.
