Colombia’s $5-billion-a-year cocaine trade has funded a brutal civil war involving leftist guerillas, right-wing paramilitaries, and a national government severely undermined by corruption. This Wide Angle report spotlights the efforts of Maria Cristina Chirolla, head of the Colombian attorney general’s anti-money laundering office, to crack down on the drug lords. But the cost of her integrity is a life of almost constant fear as she evades drug barons plotting to assassinate her. This program also includes an interview with Marc Grossman, former U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. (57 minutes)
