Mama Coca | How the Drug War Destroys Indigenous Lives

Mama Coca is a gripping political road movie that takes viewers deep into the heart of South America, tracing the growing unrest among coca farmers and the brutal crackdowns they face. From the lush Amazon rainforest to the soaring peaks of the Andes, this documentary exposes the devastating human cost of the so-called “War on Drugs.” Mama Coca Release date: January 20, 2009 (Germany) Director: Marcel Kolvenbach Stars: Elsa Malpartida, Diana Perafán Producer: Tristan Chytroschek, Robert Tasso Puetz Runtime: 51 minutes Country of origin: Germany Also known as: Les fils des Incas et la Coca Filming locations: Bolivia Language: English Production Company: A&O Buero What begins as a peaceful movement for land rights and cultural survival quickly spirals into violent confrontations. As governments—under pressure from international powers—intensify their militarized campaigns, entire communities are caught in the crossfire. Families are displaced, livelihoods destroyed, and indigenous traditions criminalized, all in the name of eradication. Through personal testimonies, on-the-ground footage, and rare access to both sides of the conflict, the film reveals how this decades-long war has become less about drugs and more about control. It’s a harrowing journey into a forgotten war zone, where resistance is growing, and where survival itself becomes an act of defiance.
