EXCERPTS:

EP. 1.

"Now the coca he can do four times a year
and in this particular three month section for this harvest,
he reckons he's gonna get about 300 dollars for his produce.
But 200 of that will go on pesticides and labour,
which means that he will get 100 dollars for this particular harvest.
Now that 100 dollars has got to pay for his kids to go to school,
and the transport and his food and everything else.

And that 100 dollars is almost, co-incidentally,
about the same price as a gram of cocaine on the streets of London."


"Columbia is still the world's biggest producer of cocaine,
but Peru is second and catching up fast."


"Traditional Ashaninka beer.
"Its made frOm yucca and sweet potato.
The women chew the sweet potato and spit it back into the pot."
