Alex James. The Cocaine Diaries

Description

In 2008, former Blur bassist Alex James released an unapologetic account of his hedonistic heyday in which he claimed to have consumed a million pounds worth of coke and champagne. That prompted Colombia's then president, Alvaro Uribe, to invite James to his country to see the damage wrought by cocaine. James agreed and, with characteristic self-assurance, made this documentary about the trip.
