Adventure: The Cocaine-Eaters of Colombia

on BBC Television

A weekly series of films taken by travellers and explorers on their expeditions throughout the world.

The Makuna Indians, living on one of the remote headwaters of the Amazon, have the reputation of being drug addicts. Brian Moser and Donald Tayler travel upstream to try to record the life of this strange tribe. The going is hard and on one of the rapids their canoe capsizes. The film stock and a camera are saved and, with their cameraman, they go on to enter Makuna territory and film the closely guarded methods of preparing cocaine.
Described by Brian Moser.
