The cocaine trade as we know it today is one of the largest and most violent criminal enterprises in the world. Based on interviews and archive material, this documentary sheds light on the incredible story of a notorious collusion: a Nazi and a narco overthrew the Bolivian government in 1980, paving the way for Pablo Escobar and today's drug cartels.

As the 1950's dawned the Central Intelligence Agency had secretly launched a new and powerful drug out into the population. Sometimes people knew they were taking it and sometimes they didn't. Acid Dreams is the story of how a Government mind control program turned into a drug epidemic that included everyone from Messianic college students to the murderous Hell's Angels biker gang.
