An Honest Citizen

An Honest Citizen, explores how 30 years of billions of dollars of illegal drug money have made Colombia virtually ungovernable. Supplying 80 percent of the world's cocaine, Colombia's booming drug trade - estimated at $6 billion a year -has funded a brutal civil war involving leftist guerillas, right-wing paramilitaries, and a government tainted at many levels with corruption. An Honest Citizen follows Maria Cristina Chirolla, Head of the Attorney General's anti-money laundering office, as she struggles to fight the extraordinary reach of drug money in Colombia. When she discovers that the drug barons protected by the paramilitaries have plotted to assassinate her, she ponders whether the battle is worth fighting and at what personal cost?
