The SACRED South American COCA leaf - indigenous communities

Whilst I was in South America, I was surprised when I noticed how normal it was for Coca leaves to be for sale all over the place. I was aware that people chewed them out here to help with the altitude, but not to the extent that I was witnessing.
I became curios, and started interviewing people chewing it on the street, and even had the opportunity to go into the Amazon Rainforest to work on a Coca farm, and film the indigenous groups harvesting the crop.
Within this documentary I attempt to explain the key differences between Coca and Cocaine, and how important it is not to get them muddled. The indigenous groups I have spoken to have suffered due to peoples miss-conceptions on what they are doing with the plant, and i hope this video represents their voices, which need to be heard and understood.
I have used some stock footage within this video and the credits go to:

at the end of my documentary I have added a section of a video of Evo Morals, former president of Bolivia, of which I sourced from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilz6WzdaP14&t=300s&ab_channel=Drugreporter
