ATLANTA — Starz, on the heels of its successful scripted Starz series “BMF,” is coming out with an eight-part documentary series on the notorious drug trafficking and money laundering organization.
BMF, known as the Black Media Family, was started in the late 1980s in Detroit by two ambitious brothers, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, and by 2000 had built a cocaine distribution operation that spanned the nation and operated like a Fortune 500 company. The feds would eventually take them down in 2005 and sentence both brothers to 30 years in prison.
With the scripted version already on air and cooperation from Meech, executive producer 50 Cent decided to create a companion documentary, which is cheekily titled “The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast.”
