Plan Colombia: Cashing In on the Drug-War Failure
(57 minutes) Colombia/USA
Directors/Producers: Gerard Ungerman and Audrey Brohy

Description:

With most of the U.S. military aid under the so-called "Plan Colombia" delivered, President Pastrana unilaterally withdraws from the peace process engaged with the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and steps up violence. Interviews with Noam Chomsky, Paul Wellstone, Colombian Presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt (now a hostage of the FARC), U.S. Government officials, a WWF scientist, and guerilla-leaders, will shed light on the complex issues of drug-trafficking and civil struggle in Colombia. The documentary also looks at the impact and result of the current chemical-spraying campaign carried out by U.S. Defense-contractor Dyncorp.
