RAW OPIUM
Peter Findlay
Opium is a commodity that has tremendous power – both to ease pain and to destroy lives.
For centuries, this flower has played, and continues to play, a pivotal role, not just in the
lives of people who grow, manufacture and use it, but also in the increasingly tense
sphere of international relations. Through the interconnected stories of Raw Opium, filmed
in East and West, our assumptions about drug addiction and the War on Drugs are profoundly
challenged.
