BLACK DEATH

The documentary "Black Death" addresses the serious problem of crude oil spills and illegal refineries in Colombia, carried out by narco-terrorist groups. Through immersive journalism, the documentary immerses itself in the Colombian jungles together with the GOES-H Police to show the interventions and operations aimed at combating these refineries. These illicit facilities not only have a devastating impact on the environment, but also finance the war in the country and are built by terrorist groups for the purpose of refining crude oil, which is mostly used in the production of coca base paste.
