Synopsis
8/25/09 The Latin American nation of Colombia is only the United States’ 27th largest trading partner, but when it comes to American labor and industry’s showdown over U.S. trade policy, it’s priority #1. Pro-free-trade lobbyists see a trade with Colombia as a way to reward cooperation with American interests on the global stage; labor activists point to a pattern of horrific violence directed at labor organizers. Both sides see Colombia as a test case that will determine the fate of free trade agreements for years to come. We go deep into coal country in the north of this violent country, witness an act of terrorism, and interview victims and would-be protectors to try to get to the bottom of this complex issue.
