Plan Columbia - Cashing in on the Drug
War
What
was the point of Plan Colombia? Is the U.S. government still
concerned with fighting drugs? Why have 20 years of drug wars in
the Andes resulted in a two-fold increase in cocaine imported into
the U.S. in the last ten years alone? Could there be alternate
purposes to a plan focused on beefing up the brutal Colombia
military and spraying coca fields in rebel-held parts of the
country when coca is grown all over Colombia? And what about oil,
given that Colombia has the same oil potential as Venezuela,
currently the second largest oil supplier to the U.S.? The
award-winning Free Will Productions team sheds light on the complex
issues of drug-trafficking and civil struggle in Colombia and the
impact of both the current chemical-spray program and the
multibillion dollar aid package delivered to the military. Analysis
and interviews with Noam Chomsky, the late Senator Paul Wellstone,
Colombian Presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt (later taken
hostage by the FARC), U.S. Members Of Congress John Conyers and Jim
McGovern, U.S. State Department officials, a World Wildlife Fund
scientist, as well as Colombians from all walks of life, including
guerilla leaders.
