TORONTO (January 13, 2025) – Crave announced today the premiere of its latest gripping true-crime series NARCO MENNONITES, the three-part docuseries tells the unbelievable story of a Mennonite family that transformed a quiet Canadian town into the epicentre of a North American drug empire. Produced by McGillivray Entertainment Media in association with Last Word Entertainment, all three episodes drop Friday, Jan. 16. For decades, a quiet Mennonite farming community in Canada hid a secret no one saw coming: a family-run drug empire stretching from rural Ontario to the mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico. NARCO MENNONITES uncovers the astonishing rise of the Harms family, the original architects of the “Mennonite Mafia,” and the violent new generation that followed. Through insight from insiders, traffickers, and pursuing law enforcement, the series reveals how a peaceful religious community became an unexpected pipeline for cartel power. Joining Crave’s ever-growing library of original true-crime docuseries which includes MAFIA: MOST WANTED, BILLIONAIRE MURDERS, and THE KINGS OF COKE, NARCO MENNONITES is produced by MEM and Last Word Entertainment, in association with Bell Media.
