The television mini-series titled ZeroZeroZero streaming on NOW TV and Sky Atlantic is based on a book of the same name by Roberto Saviano that investigates the international cocaine trade and its role in the global economy.
Among professional flour millers "00", or double zero, is the finest flour on the market for making pasta or pizza. In the narcotics trade, "zero zero zero" is the nickname for the very purest, highest quality grade of cocaine.
The film version of Saviano's book starring Andrea Riseborough, Dane DeHaan and Gabriel Byrne, follows the journey of a cocaine shipment from the decision of an Italian cartel to make the purchase, its packaging in Mexico and transport across the Atlantic Ocean, and its delivery in Italy.
“Look at Cocaine and All You See is Powder.
Look Through Cocaine and You See the World.”
