Colombia is the third largest recipient of US military aid in the world. It also has one of the highest rates of human rights abuses in the world.
Why has the US got involved in Colombia's long-standing civil war? How has this involvement benefited corporations? And what is the relationship of increasing US military presence in Latin America to the planned Free Trade Area of the Americas?
With interviews with Latin American activists and analysts from Colombia, Ecuador and the US, original footage and music, this new documentary looks at what's really going on behind the headlines.
