The story

After "Level 4" and "The Prosecutor's Office," Eric Goens now pulls out all the stops in the gripping new documentary series "Dealing with Cocaine." For eight weeks, he explores every corner of the international drug trade. He interviews drug criminals in Ecuador and Colombia, but also rides along with the Belgian police. Day and night, they try to get a handle on the illegal trade, which is becoming increasingly professional and violent in our country. It's a constant chase after kingpins in the drug world, who still too often slip through the cracks. Because the drug problem is – unfortunately – no longer a distant issue. Exploding grenades in residential areas, shootings in squares among playing children… How did it come to this in a country like Belgium? Are we really heading towards a narco-state? The series provides a serious wake-up call and exposes how complex, dangerous, and dehumanizing the circuit behind a single line of cocaine truly is.
