He Started A Hip-Hop Label, Built A $270M Coke Empire With His Brother & Got 30 Years: Big Meech

Big Meech and Southwest T built the Black Mafia Family from the corners of Southwest Detroit into one of the most powerful drug empires in America. Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory wanted visibility, status, music, celebrities, and the BMF name in lights. Terry “Southwest T” Flenory moved differently — quiet, disciplined, hidden behind the supply chain. Same family. Same empire. Same guilty plea. Same 30-year sentence. But their exits were completely different. This documentary follows the rise of BMF, the split between the Flenory brothers, Operation Motor City Mafia, the federal case that brought them down, and the long road from prison to release — including Lil Meech, the Starz BMF series, Terry’s commutation, and Big Meech’s final return home. A story about two brothers, one empire, and the cost of being seen. DISCLAIMER: This documentary is produced for educational and historical purposes only.
