‘Turn Of The Tide’ Is Based On True Story: The latest thriller drama is now streaming on Netflix. So, if you are going to watch or have watched the series, you might be wondering if the story is based on a real incident or not. Here, we are going to clear all your doubts regarding this topic, so let’s get started.
The story is about a group of friends who live in a village in Portugal and are somehow managing their lives. But one day, they find a boat belonging to two Italian criminals filled with cocaine worth millions. They create a group to sell these drugs and become rich to fulfill their dreams. Eduardo, the main character, decides to build his own empire. So, the answer to your question is “YES.” The story is loosely based on true events, as you can see in the beginning of the series or in the trailer.
The story is partially inspired by an event that took place in 2001 on the shores of Rabo de Peixe, when a cargo boat carrying illegal drugs got stuck in a storm, and the drugs were washed out onto the shores. People on the island sold those drugs for many years, and except for 290 kg of cocaine that was found by the police, the rest became popular, causing overdoses and even deaths.
