Is ‘Cocaine Bear’ a True Story? Let’s Get Into It

The trailer for Cocaine Bear is frenetic and anxiety-inducing, which is probably pretty close to a night of cocaine use. Beyond the incredible casting and concept, what we also see is that this motion picture was “inspired by true events.”

In an interview with Film Independent, movie producer Rona Edwards said, “You may want to use ‘inspired by’ if you’ve changed the story so much that it’s basically just an essence of the original story.”

For Cocaine Bear the essence is a bear on cocaine.
