Show Notes

Most people think a gangster can’t be a community hero—until they meet Selwyn “Robocop” Alexis. He ruled Enterprise with ruthless authority, but also fed children, paid rent for the poor, and kept order where the government failed. Was he a villain in disguise—or the only thing keeping his neighborhood from collapse?
Why was he assassinated in broad daylight?
And why, years later, does no one dare say who ordered the hit?
This isn’t just the story of a Trinidadian crime boss—it’s a brutal mirror held up to power, poverty, and silence in the Caribbean.
Would you have seen him as a criminal… or a king?
