Franz Florez drives a bus loaded with snakes and shows them to curious bystanders during rest stops. Venturing deeper into the countryside, he soon encounters dangers far more perilous than his passengers: guerrillas fighting government forces for decades, coca farmers, an Indio harboring secrets, and a middle-aged environmental activist. By journey's end he arrives at a paradox: perhaps the civil war raging in Colombia is the only means to protect the country's extraordinary natural biodiversity. <%YOUTUBE=9AXEfT-pM4Y%>
