Marco Vernaschi: Cocaine

5 September 2008 3 Comments

I interviewed Marco Vernaschi, an Argentinian based Italian journalist, back in August 2008. Marco traveled to Bolivia, photographed, and documented the impact of the cocaine trade on indigenous families and the communities that the cocaine flows into. He made interesting connections between the United States war on drugs, and the promotion of cocaine, a hypocrisy in every sense of the word.

I recommend listening to the interview below…
