We went searching for cocaine fields in the Amazon - this is what we found | Hotspots

In September 2025, Stuart Ramsay and his team were deployed in Colombia to report from the frontline of Donald Trump’s war on drugs.

In this episode of the new series of Hotspots, we go behind the scenes with the team on their long, wet journey through the rainforest as they try to track down a Coca farm – and have to deal with a broken down boat.
