Synopsis
The Business of Drugs (2020) is a six-part documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. The host is Amaryllis Fox, a former CIA analyst who treats the drug trade the way a market researcher would. Each episode picks one substance — cocaine, heroin, meth, synthetics, cannabis, opioids — and follows the money instead of the morality.
Fox goes to the source: coca farmers in Colombia, street dealers, lab chemists, legal growers cashing in on legalization. She does the math out loud, tracking what a gram costs at the farm and what it sells for on a corner, then asks who actually pockets the margin. Her conclusion lands hard — as long as this stays the most profitable business on earth, no police force is going to end it. Director Jesse Sweet keeps it cool and analytical rather than scary. Good pick if you like documentaries that explain a system instead of just shocking you. Stream The Business of Drugs online on iFILM.
