Greenlit: El Chapo & Sean Penn: Bungle in the Jungle, Reelz

El Chapo & Sean Penn: Bungle in the Jungle (1 x 60′) – It’s a story Hollywood drools over: a ruthless real-world villain seeks the help of an Oscar® winning actor and a glamorous actress to immortalize him on the big screen. For actor Sean Penn, Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, known as “El Chapo” (the shorty), was to be his Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The most wanted, most dangerous and richest drug lord in the world agreed to meet Penn in the remote mountains of Sinaloa, Mexico to grant the first and only interview since he escaped from Mexico’s top security prison.

This film offers a behind-the-scenes look inside that ill-fated rendezvous among Penn, El Chapo and actresses Kate Del Castillo and will reveal who orchestrated the meeting and the identities of the two mystery men traveling with Penn. Plus, find out the shocking details behind Penn’s widely criticized Rolling Stone article and what the real motive was for Castillo to set up a meeting that could have led to both her and Penn’s deaths.
It includes interviews with Penn’s former assistant Tyrel Ventura, attorney and Kate Del Castillo’s friend Vance Owen, The Wrap’s editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman, comedian and El Chapo relative Paul Rodriguez, Narcos co-creator and producer Chris Brancato, immigration attorney and Emmy® winning TV judge Cristina Perez, actress and former Penn co-star Maria Conchita Alonso, Daily Mail showbiz editor Natalie Trombetta and Raquel, an LA bail bond agent to drug cartel known as the “Queen of Bail”.
