Coca Mama

Is the "war on drugs" effective? Or is it just a colossal waste of money and man-power? Jan Thielen's documentary, filmed in four Andean countries over a year, examines the plight of indigenous coca farmers, anti-narcotics officers and American lawmakers in an attempt to answer this question. This film will be proceeded by the short "The Hidden Story," confronting Colombia's "Dirty War" against drug trafficking. 55 minutes
