Crave announced today it has ordered the new docuseries COCAINE, PRISON & LIKES: ISABELLE’S TRUE STORY. The three-part Crave Original docuseries tells the astonishing story of Isabelle Lagacé and Mélina Roberge, who, while on a world cruise in 2016, were implicated in one of Australia’s largest-ever cocaine seizures. Now, back in Canada after spending several years behind bars in Australia, Isabelle Lagacé tells her story, detailing how she became a mule for an international drug trafficking network.
The docuseries premieres on Crave in December, and is available to audiences in English and in French as COCAÏNE, PRISON & LIKES: LA VRAIE HISTOIRE D’ISABELLE.
