thought something was funny when I was watching it
Re: [REQ] COCALEROS (2OO7) [BOLIVIA]
More info on the particular version we are looking for here:
But BBC2's This World also delivered The 12-Year Old Cocaine Smuggler, Benito Montorio's film, set in Bolivia, about the true cost of cocaine, which portrays the criminalisation of some of the poorest people on the planet. The story of Claudia's arrest and imprisonment, after being caught smuggling a kilogram of cocaine on the Cochabamba bus, initially struck you as over-solemn in its reconstruction, as forensically exact as an account of a presidential assassination. But it overcame the tabloid urgency of its opening to give an intriguing account of the humblest links in the drug-trafficking chain.
Claudia's one-year spell in juvenile detention wasn't her first time behind bars. She'd also gone to prison when she was six, because young children are expected to live with their mothers if they are convicted, just as Pablito and Millie now lived with Marcela, serving an eight-year sentence for drug trafficking. Marcela had to work to pay rent for her cell and to cover the school fees for her children, who were picked up every day from the prison by their teacher. Meanwhile, Bolivia's President, Evo Morales, who came to power by defending the rights of poor cocaleros, or coca growers, is trying to work out a way to expand and industrialise the production of coca leaves without driving the US administration into a drugs panic. Who knows, perhaps there'll come a day when you can make a cup of refreshing coca tea using Fairtrade leaves from Bolivia. Until that day, though, it has to be one of the most unfair trades around, a capstone of fleeting thrill balanced on a pyramid of enduring human distress.
