After the success of our previous
compilation of full interviews put together after the making of “Hidden
Wars of Desert Storm”,
Free-Will Productions is
again making available the best interviews we gathered during the making of
our latest “Plan Colombia: Cashing-In on the Drug War Failure”
documentary about the failed U.S. war on drug in Colombia.
Because half the interviews are in English and
half are in Spanish, we decided
to divide them between two VHS tapes of
6 hours each. Please, click
here for the content of the Spanish compilation.
Compilation in English:
Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General (on the history of U.S. interventionism in Latin America since the Monroe Doctrine until today’s use of the “drug-war”excuse in Colombia).

Theo Colborn, Senior medical researcher, World Wildlife Fund, DC (on the health and environment impact of the fumigations carried out by Dyncorp in Southern Colombia).
Paul Wellstone, progressive U.S. Senator killed in a plane-crash in 2002 (on human-rights abuses in Colombia and U.S. military assistance to a corrupt Colombian military linked to death-squads).
