My Name Ain’t Johnny

João Guilherme Estrella, known to his friends as Johnny, was a charismatic kid from Rio’s comfortable middle class, more interested in partying than ambition. But in the early 1990s, his taste for the high life collided with the city’s exploding drug scene. What started as a casual flirtation with cocaine quickly spiraled into a full-blown empire, turning the easygoing bon vivant into one of Rio’s most notorious traffickers. His story is a dizzying descent from sun-soaked privilege to the brutal, unforgiving heart of the trade.
