A three-volume set of documentaries examining different aspects of
the drug trade. 'Ecstasy Bandits' (2010), profiles the scientists
responsible for the development of so-called 'designer drugs',
including Ecstasy, in recent times. 'Cocaine Bandits' (2008),
examines the way drug barons in the border region between the US
and Mexico are increasingly using paramiltary forces to achieve
their aims. Finally, 'Weed Bandits' (2003), examines both sides'
views in the campaign to allow the planting of industrial hemp in
the United States. In the pro camp, celebrity activists including
Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ralph Nader put
forward the argument that American farmers, already finding it hard
to survive in today's economic climate, are being criminalised for
going into competition with their rival synthetic manufacturers.
Author and documentary filmmaker, Rusty Fleming has spent the last
three years traveling the U.S.-Mexican border, investigating the
inner workings of the Mexican drug cartels. In his own words, he
describes this experience full of horrifying revelations and
life-changing consequences. From Brownsville to San Diego,
Matamoras to Tijuana and D.C. to Mexico City, Fleming worked with
top level law enforcement officials from local, state, and federal
agencies on both sides of the border. Exclusive interviews with
some of the "big dogs" in the narco-trafficking food chain reveal
what the narco lifestyle is really like in this tell-all
investigation.
