03 pod documentary series. i'm asking has paula stats may 4th on d, w. the or the cut or too low for is does that the heart of the largest coca growing area in columbia? the country is producing more cocaine than ever before. and the drug is now columbia as most important exports. but in recent times, a new trend has emerged. while coca production is booming, many farmers are having trouble finding buyers. the reason over production, the

goal. so when the franco, my name is with the front cover, and i work in agriculture, and they said that for me in the income i earned from coca, allows me and my family to get what we need to live. only the essential so i can see him go. coca, why do i grow coca the rep? as simple as you cut? that tomb boat is known for being very large and remote in some way. you are far away from the main roads and highways, and that'd be a kind of a bad. it's much easier to transport 10 kilos of co pays out of via which fits into a small bag fuel. then 20 or 30 loads of bananas which take up much more space and one moment with your mug around in the

that's the phone number. so there's just one step missing to turn this into co pay that it's not yet been fried. that means it's still in your kind of, can you throw it in to apply and heat it up and remove the water and all the impurities going on with him for 2 years ago. and this was worth 2000000, 750000 pesos. yo about 640 year atlanta. now it's worth nothing because nobody buys it anymore. this is like you, i live in my home. busy so there are about 122130000 plants here and see until the 9th, i mean, we use them to make 30 or 40 kilos of coca pace today. that's why the incense about 75 to 80000000 pesos us around 17218000 euro since i'm una, best when i order. but now i'm in danger of losing everything. i'm in a bit of info because nobody's buying co pays right now. i can plan to buy harvest in store at all, but nobody buys. i thought that was a bit of a 90 minute confident type of stuff, but again,

you broke into i think this is the biggest crisis called the farmers and cut it to them. they'll have that for face to come in and it doesn't just affect the cost of tune, but in north sonton dere, but other parts of the country as well because it's been dealt with. but i'm thinking that advice me number. my name is joe 100 visa when you get 10 and i'm 17 years old. know thing going. i've been working here for about 2 years. what can you before that i went to school and venezuela not going to take but because of the economic crisis, i had to come here to work that, that i had back then i lived with my grandparents and you know, with that just in person and my grandmother was getting more and more sick. the main thing my grandfather had an injured arm, but i think that's why my grandmother said i should come work here. okay. bit and then be applied to find you are not as funds to help them out. i sometimes send the money i may harvesting cool guy strictly illegal when i think that sometimes the government soldiers come to a coke of farm and destroy the cook. a plants turning point and if you're working there,

you get arrested. yes. and they can even burn down the lab and destroy everything. you know? they're going for you, john. john, the 230. how much do you have? you know? 31 kilogram. but i don't think it's so we used to have lots of money, a little co payment. we now have lots of pace, but no money left. the many people here work with coke up because it's cultivation accounts for 70 percent of economic output stuff and everything here revolves around coca. the problem right now is selling it, which has

a huge impact on trade. everything is affected in gomez and stuff like that. like anything else, the level and here's what coca does. it's still plan to kill us if you have some armed groups are fighting for more land so that they can expand coca cultivation, the company. it's the reason behind all the conflict to cut black. if we were going to stop plantations and other things on these lands, nobody would be fighting over it. and then we, the entire population are the ones called in the middle. mean i'm with the similar, my name is claudia, patricia minus they go rios, i'm working to help victims of sexual violence. maybe it is the, it's difficult to be a woman in this area. and when that some of us have endured horrible things. that's of the i do for them this and you guys in my case it was sexual violence

because something and everything was gone and then we live in constant fear in me as but as the up lives on my personal experience is difficult because it said that you can't fathom how someone would think of using your body as a spoil of war, wins and oh, what a phone i thought with all my might, but i couldn't come up into your ink when you haven't gotten to your head. it's very difficult to as easy to set up both mrs. work is this. it also because my daughter was there in your business and died. so what else can i do there, gerald and then for i had no strength left in this for the and then after i had fought for as long as i could, they hit me in the face with one of the weapons they had with them go,

i passed out and then regained consciousness. i was gone and came back. you're really near like, i remember it. well, it'll love it. but these are memories. i would like to erase the experience destroyed me emotionally, sexually personally. and i mean, i wish we didn't have co kind of regions bank, i can rid of. okay. because if there was no coca or we wouldn't have to live with all these dangers all the time. and the confrontations give you a sense, we wouldn't live in fear unless something more of

the i need to tell you something in the winter. i've checked our finances and the situation is tough, right? to the right. number you printer like working like hardly have any work in them and that affects wage payment to you. but i think i meant that on the one hand to there's no more work so we can no longer harvest coke on the farm for the month. they use see because it was we just had. yeah. and on the other day my we have to talk about my debt to you. remember the wages i still owe you for the last few weeks then? yeah. so mad when to, when i've already done the math and i think i'll have to pay you with a few grams of coke of paste, but i don't know that i'm with it. because as you know, the past couple of people, there's no cash right now. deal with for the me see no, i must all or what i knew, let's see if there's no more work because things are so hard. i don't want co pay

still don't ever see. i'd rather wait until you can sell co capacity or really in this that i gave to failing then. yeah, i guess i do. and when you have cash to pay me to let me know what and i'll come back then to collect the money you'll. you'll angle ok, i've left you telling me when there's money or work. i type and i'll come back. i get all the way the if that and this is going to be my house is that this will be my little house. and i, there are 2 rooms here. one on the right is the bathrooms, will buy new. now the other room is the living room, dining room and kitchen, satellite gourmet, or a local scene i work on when i doesn't buy said one room i'll make available to victims who need

a place to stay thing and some of the sales. and what we can do here in this big dining room. so it's have conversations eloquently are active, but i'm about to tell them that they can talk about topics like empowerment in them . so we can feel better most i've had it before, which is that just how it is a start. nice. it's a rebirth for me and my own here in process. i mean, can you, if i could only manage to finish building this house, got so say like one, bring it in there. not that many women in this area that is one way or another. i'll help them heal their wounds. is if i could do that for myself, if we're bit by bit, then i can do that for them to the just the most with level 2, we've paid is the price not at $53.00, like sometimes i wish the government was a bit more humane. mazda line would help us more. you're not finding that i'm,

we often feel a band and, and alone. and sometimes we get tired of that, which isn't, isn't the most along the lines, the furnace. do you think we have no choice but to carry on it? right. i mean my son was like, i'm always with the hope that maybe one day last piece on that. but i must consider when we all up on the job because of this crisis of not being able to sell coke, a paste is dragged down so long. it will become impossible for us to make a living from coca conservation lot, but it's selling palm oil. could be a good business, the big kid will color one. it requires only a small investment. that means it's also easier to cultivate. that bottom home is

cut every 4 to 6 months and it's harvested by the science even when you don't need to be a slave to cultivation like you do with coca. i think that that could be the new danger. i see as a farmer is that palm cultivation will lead to the development of a monoculture give and i fear it will spread too much. i degrade the soil as a result, and these are the 330 many farmers have switched from cocoa to palm oil production, but 5 wins by armed groups continues the key of newton's 9.
