Alex James - The Cocaine Diaries (1x1)

Air date: Jan 28, 2008

Alex James, the bass player in the band Blur, once bragged that he spent over $1.5 million on cocaine at the height of his addiction. Invited by the president of drug-ravaged Colombia to see just where his money went, Alex takes a trip across the Atlantic and witnesses firsthand the toll that the illicit trade in cocaine is exacting on this country and the people who live there.
