synopsis

This episode journeys into Cauca, one of Colombia’s most contested regions. We begin in Argelia, where coca cultivation is both a necessity and a curse. Through the lens of local farmers, we witness the complex choices made in the shadows of guerrilla presence and military control. Deeper into the territory, we access processing labs and the networks that sustain the drug economy. But there is also resistance, Indigenous communities standing firm against all armed actors. As tensions mount between economic survival, territorial control, and cultural preservation, the story unpacks what it means to live and resist on a front line few outsiders dare to reach.
