Executive produced by Spike Lee and awarded the Best New Narrative Director Prize at the Tribeca Film Festival, "Manos Sucias" is the explosive debut of a rookie filmmaker, who has forced the world to pay close attention.

Having spent a number of years in Colombia, researching his script and injecting it with a powerful dose of reality, Josef Wladyka delivers a film akin to a time bomb that's about to explode, redefining the ethics of violence under the most adverse circumstances.

Two young men from Buenaventura, Colombia, attempt to traffic drugs up the Pacific coast for the local cartels. Wretchedly poor, they are forced to take the job in order to stay alive in a society that has predestined them to be servants.

During this risky operation, they will come face-to-face with army patrols and others like them, who will set their sights on their precious cargo. When the survival instincts inevitably take over, the two men will be forced to "get their hands dirty". K.Th.
