Join the deadly journey of cocaine, from farmer to kingpin. Meet
Maria. Maria doesn't see herself as a criminal. She's just a
farmhand picking the crops that never lose money: coca. This is
Cachote. He prays to the Virgin of the Assassins that his bullets
find their target. If he misses, he'll have to answer to the cartel
who pay him to take out their enemies. Pedro works the coca labs.
But this laboratory is hidden deep in the jungle, and he turns coca
leaves in to coca paste, a step just short of cocaine. And finally,
here is Alex. Alex is a drug-lord and decides where the drug goes
next: into Europe or the US. And he wields the power of life and
death over everyone around him. In Kilo, Toby Muse takes us deeper
into the drug trade than ever before, following a kilo of cocaine
as it travels from its origins to the street. On the ground in the
drug war for over a decade, earning the trust of those involved on
all sides, Toby Muse takes us with him through the endless
blood-soaked horror and economic logic at every level of the
journey of the world's most alluring and dangerous drug. We come to
meet and ultimately understand the tainted personal psychology and
motivations of each player in this dark El Dorado. But there are no
winners here. Anyone who tries to hold the power of the 'white
goddess' cocaine is ultimately undone, violently stripped of their
humanity, their souls and their lives in this endless, pointless
dance of death.
