After having presented its newest collaboration with Leonardo Yachts, as well as three new short-films, the avantgarde brand, VÉHICULE, has presented its fourth short-film with “Waves of Contraband: The Global Drug Trade from the 70s to Today”, this time deep diving into the shadowy world of global drug smuggling in this gripping documentary. From the golden age of offshore powerboats in the 1970s to the rise of high-tech trafficking today, we uncover the daring routes and ruthless networks that have shaped the international drug trade. Explore the role of cocaine in the Caribbean, heroin in Asia, marijuana smuggling in Florida’s Everglades, methamphetamine labs in Eastern Europe, and fentanyl’s devastating impact worldwide. Featuring real-life stories of smugglers, law enforcement, and the victims caught in the crossfire, this documentary reveals how drugs have reshaped economies, governments, and cultures.
