yeah. colombia. ordinarily and for all too many years when this country makes the news or appears in a film or a television drama, it's not for its looks, which are i should say, right up front spectacular. it's not for its people. who are everyone i've ever met anyway. warm proud, generous and fun. or for its food, which is truly great. you know what this is, but it's good fruit in this country. excellent . i'm no stranger to this place
8:03 pm
. generally speaking, it's a particularly vibrant mix of spanish european afro caribbean and indigenous people. these are deep waters by friends that no news story or episode of miami vice has ever come close to navigating, er. it is and always has been a fiercely fiercely proud country and its people yearn to see international coverage of something other than cocaine and violence. but that isn't a legacy that's easy to ignore its decades of civil unrest have left vast swaths of colombia relatively unknown even to its own citizens. to reach a place previously considered a no go area of fly out of an airport in villavicencio, 45 miles southeast of the capital city of bogota. on first inspection. this is an airplane boneyard or unwanted props from romancing

8:07 pm
the land we're passing over is beautiful and lush. but the life for those below has been anything but colombia seems to be trapped in a vicious has used the territory as a haven for kidnapping and drug until recently, most of the news coming out of this part of colombia was not good. it was a front line in the war on drugs for lack of a better term and colombia's long struggle with the farc, a marxist guerilla force financed by drug trafficking, kidnapping and covert assistance from dirty war stakes, not about drugs per se, but about the ability of ordinary colombians to live without fear. we land in the jungle outpost of miraflores in the southern province of guaviare in the amazonian forest reserve. heavy presence of army
8:08 pm
and special police is a result of its strategic location and recent history as a one time center of cocoa production. farmers here would grow the stuff and make leaves into paste traffickers would come and buy it. the farc had this area under its sphere of influence for years. nine years ago, the government moved to expel the farc traffickers and any paramilitaries with apparently much success. overnight. however its population shrank by 85% and what remains struggles to survive. people here. you're telling me either were born here? for most of the people came from elsewhere at the beginning in the 19 fifties and sixties, they
8:09 pm
were they were escaping from the violence of the political violence between the two parties in colombia, having problems in the city or any wherever you were from. you came out here. yeah, so what did you do for a living out here? cattle and the thing summary culture and after that the drug trade began and everything with the coca plantations in this climate is good for it. yeah it's very good since 1999. there was no police or army force here, so it was just occupied by the farc. and then by the parliament could try to him. yeah so that's when the real violence begin. so really, the problems in this country pre existed the drug trade what we say here is that the drug crazy just made everything work. there's no judge here. there's few institutions here, right? basically you know that the state is here just because the army is here, so i think we're gonna make the major. oh yeah.

8:12 pm
crackhead yeah, that is a problem. the thing is that people think that if you think that drugs should be legalized, you're saying that they're good? no we're not saying that, but just we're just getting rid of one problem. the problem of the major has here up a lot of money that you could divert. we have two programs with you. i agree. one is drug addiction and the other is drug trafficking. we can get rid of one. we're not going to get rid of the other. we have to deal with it. forever it's a beautiful country of the people here have ever been. it's been really nice. even the bad guys charming. yeah that is true. the food is delicious. problem is, the united states will never legalize drugs. it will never happen. complicated issues. yeah so the good people of this town can thank us for bringing in there. yeah. supply of okay. service oh, okay. think nothing of a gentleman who was was really our pleasure. i'm eva
