Kings of Coke is a documentary about the little known true story of Montreal’s Irish Mafia, who became a global force in the international drug trade. Based on Dan Burke’s investigative reporting and D’Arcy O’Connors cult favorite book: The West End Gang.
The development of the graphic universe of Kings of Coke is inspired by its history, its era, archival material and the desire to be as close as possible to reality. The textures of newspaper cutouts, ink, paper and old pictures were used to develop the graphic language of the film and to create a link between the various elements.
