Ricardo Corredor, Wade Davis and Patrick Radden Keefe in conversation with Rosie Boycott (Spanish version)

Imagine... well-being: legal drugs in America

Cartagena 2022, 

Benzodiazepines, opioids... legal medicines that are regularly prescribed in medical consultations in so many countries on the continent. These legal drugs, together with alcohol, kill thousands of people every year, contribute to violence, and are controlled by wither pharmaceutical companies or, if not legal, by organized crime. Two authors from the region talk about an epidemic that affects us all. With director of Communications of the Comision of Truth, Ricardo Corredor (Colombia); anthropologist and writer Wade Davis (Canada/Colombia); and the journalist Patrick Radden Keefe (United States), in conversation with Rosie Boycott.
