Peru quietly overtook Colombia as the world's largest producer of cocaine, and this Vice News report goes into the country's coca-growing regions to show how that happened. Correspondents travel through jungle valleys where farmers harvest coca leaf as a cash crop, and into makeshift jungle labs where paste gets cooked down toward export-grade product. Interviews with growers, traffickers, and law enforcement lay out the economics: eradication programs that push production deeper into remote territory, and a domestic market for coca that has existed long before cocaine became a global commodity. The film tracks how Shining Path remnants and organized trafficking networks have filled the space Colombian cartels left as that country's industry came under heavier pressure. Rather than treating Peru as a footnote to Colombia's drug history, the report treats it as the new center of gravity for the trade, with its own routes, its own armed groups, and its own relationship between rural poverty and the crop that pays better than anything else around.
