Plan Colombia: Cashing in on the Drug War Failure

Colombia is synonymous with drug trafficking, with the country earning an enormous amount of money every year by shipping its illegal wares to the USA. But the American government has been engaged in a lengthy battle to stop the Colombian drug barons from trading with their country...or have they? Filmmakers Gerard Ungerman and Audrey Brohey take a look at the government's efforts to quash trading with Colombia, and find some surprisingly lax activities taking place.

Commentators such as Noam Chomsky and Senator Paul Wellstone are brought into the picture to explain why this might be occurring, with a particular focus on the lucrative oil resources that Colombia houses. A fascinating mixture of facts, figures, and speculation, Plan Colombia: Cashing in on the Drug War Failure offers plenty of shocking revelations as the film unfolds.
