Show Notes

A shocking midnight assassination in Port of Spain exposes the deeper truths of Trinidad and Tobago’s violent underworld. When prominent attorney and former senator Dana Seetahal is ambushed and killed in a carefully coordinated hit, the nation is already reeling from a murder rate spiraling out of control. VICE News travels into the slums, speaking with gang members, police, activists, and community leaders to reveal a brutal reality: micro-territories ruled by politically connected street gangs, government contracts fought over with bullets, and a drug-trafficking pipeline linking the Caribbean to West Africa and the United States. Beneath it all lies a darker suspicion — that unnamed elites have quietly engineered a narco-state built on corruption, cocaine, and impunity.
