FILMS FOR PEACE presents "PLAN COLOMBIA: CASHING IN ON THE DRUG-WAR FAILURE"
FRIDAY JULY 15, 7PM (57- min.)
In the 20 years of the U.S. "war-on-drugs" in Colombia paid for by U.S. tax-payers, more and more drugs and narco-dollars are entering the US every year.
"Plan Colombia" looks at why the US war-on-drugs has resulted in a two-fold increase in cocaine imports to the US over the last decade alone. The doc also looks at the impact the spraying of Monsanto defoliant has had on farming communities, Is the current US "oil" administration even concerned with fighting drugs in Colombia, another top oil supplier to the US, when its US-friendly regime is being threatened by leftist guerrilla groups ?
* Shocking facts & original footage shot in Colombia.
* Exclusive interviews of the late Senator Paul Wellstone, Noam Chomsky, and many key-players including guerrilla leaders... You won't want to miss this documentary! Filmmaker Gerard Ungerman will lead the discussion after the screening.
