Viva la Coca

Viva La Coca, takes viewers into the world of the Peruvian coca farmers, who are totally dependent on the paltry money they make from growing coca leaves, and the cocaine-makers, who turn the leaves into "dandruff of the Andes." It follows the complex process of a kilo of cocaine being made, from the leaf to the final drying in a microwave. The film makes clear that the peasants and the drug makers are totally interdependent.
