Alex James in Colombia Review by William H. Gates

The documentary of Alex James in Colombia show AG many things. First of all MW the audience`S attention it is trying to catch is quite extensive, either people from Europe or South American population have a direct relation with the content of the film. The beginning of the movie had a special introduction because MW shows in WW one side the traditional liberal position of European related with the Cocaine consume WF and in WW the other hand the South American conflict against to the drug trafficking asking for attention.

The proposal of the president of Colombia Albaro Uribe Velez was MW expose the critical situation that Colombian population is suffering and the unconscious way of thinking common people manage WW in Europe. The travel WW of Alex James contributes to showING to the BBC audience (and hopefully to the cocaine consumers) how Colombia MW trying to fight against to EW a historical problem found WW lot’s of problems in the process of eradicating the drugs traffic. The film`S description of the Colombian problem was trying to rescue the beautifulness WFof the country, the positive attitude of the politicians to show to the international community that we need help not just in our country but also in UK countries (as The President said to Alex when he was referring to the persecution of the trafficING of drugs in Europe) and also the unconformity of the Colombia population with those AG bloody business (as for example said the cocaine farmer in the jungle next to Cali or the taxi killer).

But also the film exposes some tints of political management. By one side the proposal of fighting against the guerrillas and the drugs trafficking is part of the President Uribes campaign, in which he has spent lot’s of money all through his presidency. An example of that was the quantity of money that Alex said was spent on the “Plan Colombia” directly impulse WW by the U.S. The management of the information through the film contained a big influence from the Colombian government; it was reflected on the kind of people which were called to participate on it.

Finally we could conclude that the video contained an interesting thematic, it show some inconsistencies how as for example the taxis driver how said that one of the benefits of the traffic war, were AG the same government. Also the fact that the farmers that were communicating to the audience the circumstances in which the country is, didn’t received VT some kind of protection or privacy so they could not be affected. Even though WW the material of the film is good, it provides very interesting knowledge especially for the international community and for the population of the rest of the world.
