This was a piece I shot, edited and co-produced in Colombia's Guajira. I produced and filmed an exclusive look at the secretive drug gangs that continue to control Colombia's cocaine trade. Amid heavy fighting between FARC rebels and Colombian soldiers, a military plane goes down in the mountains of Cauca. What happened? Colombia is suffering a wave of acid attacks on women. We follow the case of a woman who's brought in to hospital following one such attack. Watch as men in Colombia test their courage by performing acrobatic tricks in front of bulls at the “Corralejas”, one of the world’s most deadly sports.

Decades ago, Pablo Escobar smuggled a handful of hippos in to Colombia. The herd has blossomed to be largest in the wild outside of Africa. But hippos can wreck havoc on Colombia's environment and authorities are experimenting with different solutions to limit the population's growth. On top of that, various hippos have fled to Colombia's largest river where they could be a danger to people.
