Benjamin Walker: And the Cash Transaction He Wishes Never Happened

Have you ever thought about the story behind a one hundred dollar bill? The things it has probably witnessed that no one will ever know. Benjamin Walker, a US one hundred dollar note, will take you where no other has, deep into the money chain of the cocaine trade. From the vaults of a bank to the streets of New York, Benjamin passes from hand to hand until he reaches the jungles of Colombia. From street dealers to money launderers, from guerrilla and paramilitary groups to drug cartel barons, Benjamin sees all the levels of this illegal trade. He narrates a story that describes enormous wealth, abject poverty, and witnesses the horror when innocent people are caught in the crossfire of the cocaine producers. He sees how the amounts of wealth generated by drugs permeate all levels of society in Colombia as well as in North America and elsewhere.
