| Drug Wars - Columbia |
 |
June 1995
Colombia's rural peasants are caught in a
savage drugs war, forced to produce narcotics
through economic despair. We investigate this
deadly battle, with daring access to major
and minor players and exclusive archive
footage. Following the capture of the Cali
cocaine 'cartel' leader, a retaliation bomb
is detonated in Medellin. Removing Cali
cartel leaders has done nothing to halt the
drug trade. In Cali, 'Pepe', a drug
trafficker, makes $4,000 a month while a slum
family tells the tragic story of their
cocaine-courier father. Focusing on the
government's renewed fight against drugs
under threat of US sanctions, we document the
strong-arm tactics of both the army and
guerrilla groups. Bloodstained bodies of 13
peasant growers are lined up at a military
base - the army dismisses them as vermin. In
the fields of a typical coca campesino,
protected by guerrilla units, growers process
their haul. Evidence of government fumigation
of illicit crops which, in turn, encourages
farmers to double their cultivation. The
result is massive deforestation. Indigenous
Indians have little hope in the escalating
feud ravaging Colombia.
