Plan Colombia - Putumayo

This is a series of eight videos made by the Colombian human rights group MINGA. "Take a moment to view some of these. They are quite typical of what we have heard in our own research in Colombia's coca-and-conflict zones: indiscriminate fumigation, dysfunctional alternative-development efforts, and civilians caught in the middle of the violence. This glimpse into Plan Colombia's first zone of operation makes pretty clear why the strategy has failed to achieve its goals." (Adam Isacson, Colombia researcher).
