Cinemavixion Review

This unflinching documentary, 'Cocaine: Living With The Cartels,' ventures into the complex and often hidden world of recreational drug use in Britain. With an estimated one million Britons partaking annually, the series confronts the stark reality that cocaine is now more potent, accessible, and dangerous than ever. The documentary follows four individuals—Amber, Louis, Chanel, and Troi—who, despite being casual users, decide to confront the full implications of their habits. Their journey is one of stark revelation, moving from the intimate exploration of cocaine's effects on the human body to a dramatic expose of its origins in the Colombian Amazon and its pervasive impact on British society. Through their candid experiences and the documentary's investigative lens, viewers are prompted to question the perceived harmlessness of occasional drug use when faced with the overwhelming influx of super-strength cocaine flooding the UK. It's a compelling, eye-opening look at a pervasive issue, urging a deeper understanding of the personal and global consequences of the drug trade.
