Cocaine and other traditional drugs are increasingly laced with fentanyl, driving a deadly surge in addiction and leaving a trail of death and devastation. We begin our investigation in Colombia’s Catatumbo region. Here, drug cartels run a murderous campaign to control cocaine trafficking routes. Drug wars in the region have rendered more than 50,000 farmers homeless. We then travel to Belgium’s Antwerp Port, now dubbed the cocaine capital of Europe. Here, we examine the profound challenges enforcement authorities face in trying to curb cocaine trafficking. We then meet Swedish and Dutch gang members recruiting children to fight turf wars between competing drug cartels, devastating once peaceful communities in Europe. Our final stop is the United States. In Philadelphia's open outdoor drug markets, addicts score hits of deadly fentanyl and other synthetic drugs. The scourge of drugs is causing a healthcare crisis in the city.

An estimated 39.5 million people globally suffer from drug-use disorders — with a growing number hooked on synthetic drugs that are cheaper, more accessible, and far more lethal. We investigate the impacts of this synthetic curse, beginning in Karachi, where millions of young Pakistanis are caught in a deadly spiral of addiction and crime. Our team embeds with Karachi Police on a drug raid. We then traverse Thailand to investigate how the authorities are working to contain cross border trafficking. Synthetic pills, produced in Myanmar, are flooding Thailand, wreaking havoc on Thai society. In British Columbia, Canada, we discover the impact of decriminalization: More than 50,000 Canadians have died from fentanyl overdoses. The drug, which can be produced in home labs, is fueling a crime wave and a health crisis. Many societies are grappling with a growing drug epidemic. We uncover how meth produced in Myanmar has fueled a multi-million-dollar trade — and how a combination of law enforcement, cutting-edge technology, and grassroots activism is rising to confront it. But will these efforts be enough to break the grip of synthetic drugs before it's too late?

In the West, surrounded by iPods, instant downloads and an ever-changing onslaught of new music and performers, a simple song is something easily taken for granted. Folk music exists for many Westerners as another musical brand or label — something to distinguish a certain kind of song from thousands of others. In the East, in Tibet, a large country the size of Western Europe, folk songs serve as the connective tissue between regions, passed down in the oral tradition through an increasingly fragmented country and region, much of which remains under harsh Communist Chinese rule after 50 years of occupation. Tibet was a sovereign nation for thousands of years, with its own music, heritage, laws and customs. Its folk songs convey and preserve ethnic, religious and philosophical customs that date to primeval times — in effect, the DNA shaping an endangered people's identity, one that has been rigidly co-opted by China's "patriotic reeducation" of Tibetan citizens through its dissemination of nationalistic pop songs designed to wipe out Tibetan culture through a rigid, unwavering system of control. TIBET IN SONG examines what happens when one man, a Tibetan native who fled his country of origin for India at the age of two, returns home to capture the music of his people — like lightning in a bottle — before all is lost to the ashes of time and history. Director and producer Ngawang Choepel was arrested in Tibet on charges of espionage by Chinese authorities in 1995. Accused of collecting sensitive material on China, thereby endangering its national security, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison, serving nearly seven years before his highly publicized release in 2002.

Nixon was President, J. Edgar Hoover was head of the F.B.I. and Richard M. Daley was "Da Mayor" of Chicago. Soon they would be attacking our syndicated tv show, its counterculture guests, Chuck Collins and the antiwar movement. As a kid, living in the East Rogers Park neighborhood, I would daydream about a "cool" tv show where very interesting people talked about the things that were never taught in schools. The best parts would be the unrehearsed moments where the unexpected and bizarre and often wild things would just happen on the screen where no adults were in sight . Some guests would be famous others just knew the bottom-line truth because they lived it. Always, there was the music that we stood for and cared about. All this was over the backdrop of the Vietnam War, police brutality, racism and political killings. Fifty years later, I bring you a short documentary showing how my daydreams came true.

"Tibet in Song" 2009 SUNDANCE Film Festival Grand Jury Prize World Cinema Documentary Competition It was January 2004 when I was asked whether my passport was up to date and if I wanted to go to Tibet on behalf of an exiled Tibetan ethnomusicologist Ngawang Choephel? Of course! A week later I landed at 12,000ft in Lhasa, the Capital of Tibet during the Tibetan New Year Losar. My alias was that I was there to document traditional music for friends back in San Francisco. In truth I was armed with Choephel’s treatment to document the struggle to preserve Tibetan cultural identity. I filmed intimate testimonies from Tibetan musicians (among them opera master Pema Dhondup) as well as Tibetans performing folk music in a variety of situations — most notably Lhasa street beggars who are harassed by Chinese officials. A press release described another moment, "Lederer boldly ventured into nightclubs and secured a rare interview with a nightclub owner, who on the spot admits his allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party and the nature of the music performed in his club." Tibetan landscape is a vast plateau of rock and more rock. The Tibetan people melt your heart with their warmth. It was my first time seeing the Himalayas and they took my breath away. I trekked with nomads over 17,000ft in hopes of documenting a high pitched singing called Eastern Lu performed by nomads. I ended up with middle ear infections after contracting a cold and sleeping in a nomads tent with my feet above my head. I awoke with clogged ears and as I descended I knew I was in trouble. Lesson: always bring decongestants to high altitude destinations. Long story short I was medevacked to China briefly, then returned to complete my assignment. Ironically I directed a blind folk singer while I was hearing impaired. All in all I was in Tibet for over a month and then drove overland from Lhasa to Kathmandu documenting along the way. This is a short promo that was edited early on in 2004. The documentary was finally completed and premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2009. http://www.tibetinsong.com/
