Cocaine: Living With The Cartels
Cocaine consumption is at its highest level in 30 years, with middleclass millennials spending more money than ever on the drug. In this series, four recreational cocaine users are about to discover the true cost of their party lifestyles. We go behind the false glamour of cocaine as the ‘jet-set drug’ to reveal the heart-breaking reality of how lives across the globe are being destroyed by the white powder as we take four consumers to the terror filled jungles, favelas and drug cartels of Colombia and then back to the grim reality of the cocaine trade back in their own neighbourhoods.
