BOLIVIA: Comic Movie Isn't Funny To Yungas Coca Growers.

GUARDIAN / M. Cabitz


The coca growers in the Yungas region are not amused. 

They have banned a viewing of director Adán Sarabia's  "Los Gringos No Comen Llajua"/"Foreigners Don't Eat Spicy Sauce"...because it portrays them as narco gangsters.


"They've threatened the actors who live in the Yungas that they'll throw them out of their community, and they've called them persona non grata."
The movie is a comedy about a German tourist kidnapped by drug traffickers.
