Produced by Belly Ventures LLC, along with the fascinating Dr. Valdes himself, the event promises to blend luxury with raw, visceral storytelling. It is expected to be a significant mark on the cultural maps of celebrities, athletes, influencers, and corporate tycoons, all of whom are expected to grace the occasion in Miami. The event is an earnest testament to the belief that humans are capable of dramatic reformation and rectification, regardless of how steep their fall from grace may be.
“Shadow of the Wolf” is not merely a film; it is an intimate look at an extraordinary man’s journey from a notorious past to an admirable present. A man unafraid to confront his past and determined to shape a new narrative.

The film, presented by Uno Sumos, has been brought to life through the combined creative genius of an accomplished team. Crafty Apes, renowned for their visual effects work with Marvel, create the visually stunning backdrop. Renowned director Carlos Betancourt guides the narrative, and producers Chris LeDoux and Kyle Dutton ensure seamless production. Luis Valdes’ son, Estevan Valdes, serves as the Director of Photography, preserving the authentic essence of his father’s life on the celluloid.
While the exclusive premiere of “Shadow of the Wolf” on Netflix is a notable milestone, it does not confine the reach of the documentary. It will also grace noted film festivals such as Sundance and the Cannes Film Festival, making a significant dent in the global cinematic landscape.
The captivating narrative of Dr. Jorge Luis Valdes’ life has piqued the interest of many prominent film executives. Talks are in progress regarding adapting his life story into a full-length feature film.

Therefore, this screening party, draped in luxury and studded with notable personalities, transcends standard film-premiere conventions. It stands as an epitome of resilience and change, a harbinger of the compelling tale of Dr. Jorge Luis Valdes.
Lured by the promise of fortune, a young and hungry Jorge Valdes dove headfirst into Colombia’s surging drug trade. In his early 20s, he secured a key logistics role within the fledgling Medellín operation that would mint millions as cocaine flooded American soil.
But ambrosial profits came at a grave cost, and Jorge’s meteoric rise constantly flirted with ruin. His title granted him rarefied access to celebrities, politicians and hitmen alike. Yet behind the curtain of decadence, violence and betrayal churned. And for all the success built atop powdery white rails, DEA raids quashed that dizzying high before its time.
Jorge’s world crumbled as swiftly as it had materialized. At the height of his power, he lost everything to a ten-year bid hidden from the glitz he once took for granted. A child of Cuban immigrants raised in poverty, Jorge believed he manifested the American Dream, only to become a slave to its darkest temptations. But through the anguish of withdrawal—first from cocaine’s grip, then later freed into a foreign world—the authentic self behind the empire endured. He turned his life around, got his master’s degree and earned his Ph.D.
The hypnotic allure of “Shadow of the Wolf” and the inspiring story of its protagonist is set to resonate across boundaries, assuring this is only the beginning of a spectacular narrative odyssey. From a life shrouded in chaos and darkness, emerges a tale illuminating the power of transformation. The sponsors, producers, and all involved in the venture are deeply appreciative of infinite possibilities converging to make this phenomenal event a reality. This December, prepare to witness and celebrate a journey from the shadows into the luminous world of redemption.
