You feel capable of anything, like Superman. The drug is readily available, and cocaine use is on the rise. "Addiction Switzerland" is calling for a change of course in drug policy. The current strategy has failed, and legalization must be considered. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) warns that decisive action against the drug is urgently needed. Otherwise, Germany risks facing a situation like that in Belgium or the Netherlands, where cartels have become so powerful that government officials who want to take action against them have to go into hiding to avoid being kidnapped. The cocaine flood originates in South America, particularly Colombia. The current government has initiated a peace process with the drug traffickers. The police and military have been scaled back so as not to jeopardize this process. This has led to a surge in production. _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Simon Christen ▪ Collaboration: Philippe Stalder ▪ Cinematography: Matthias Gruic, Raphael Gubler ▪ Editing: Peter Karlaganis ▪ Production: Christine Albrecht ▪ Director: Nathalie Rufer _____________________________________________ This is «DOK»: Our in-depth documentaries on topics from society, nature, politics, sports, and economics.
