Miami Vice: Rebels of the USA (Documentary)
Located at the tip of Florida, Miami is one of the most attractive cities in the United States. For many, it is also the most rebellious in America.
Since the pandemic, Miami is the place where Covid-19 does not exist. While New York was left a shadow of its former self, Miami continued to thrive by breaking the health rules. Historically, Florida has always been the subversive state of the United States: drug lords, Cuban refugees and the fiery stars of the 1980s all found refuge there. In recent months, Miami has become “The Place to Be”, the city unlike any other, regaining its nickname of “Miami Vice”.
Today, the city attracts Americans from all over the country. Young people, entire families, but also business leaders and investors. Miami is also the place of choice for the rebellious, those who value their freedom and their life choices above all else. In Miami Beach, Little Havana, Biscaine Bay, as far as the Keys and the Everglades, is the meeting place for party people, like Suzy Tailor, the emblematic figure of the city, queen of Cuban parties, deemed “the Diva of Miami”.
The city is also the place to be for creators, artists, eccentrics and libertarians, such as Cris Nelson, creator of “Free Florida” who, every weekend, gathers hundreds of people to burn anti-Covid surgical masks. Not to mention the survivalists, fringe people, rednecks and early Trumpists, who include Karyn Turk, a 48-year-old former Miss Florida and mother of three, someone with her fingers in the pie at Mar-a-Lago, former President Trump’s spectacular Palm Beach residence. She calls for a Republican revolt. An unconstrained immersion into Miami, the most rebellious city in America.
