When Atikamekw elder Charles Coocoo sees the devastating impact of addiction on Indigenous youth in Canada, he travels to the Peruvian Andes to understand its source. There, he discovers a thousands-year-old tradition where the coca leaf is a sacred symbol of healing, community, and spiritual connection, far removed from the dark reality of illegal trade.

Discover the powerful clash between ancient tradition, international prohibition, and a modern crisis affecting communities worldwide.

Director: Felix Atencio-Gonzales
