The Opium War | Trailer

Myanmar's Kachin State has been fighting for autonomy since 1961. It is home to an ethnic group that makes up three per cent of Myanmar's population. But as the civil war escalated, so too did opioid use.
The Opium War is coming soon to Video on Demand.

In 2014, a vigilante anti-drug movement, Pat Jasan, was founded in Kachin. Their aggressive tactics, including destroying poppy fields, have led to armed clashes. Previously in the region, drugs had long been sold freely with police turning a blind eye. 'There are drug addicts in every family', explains one Kachin man. 'My father and my grandparents died of drugs', says another.

it looks more like a movie than a documentary

[@yumkhaibamgeorge1349]

Plz upload the full film

[@8dl697]

When perpetrators want to take down something or someone, it's easier when doing it by distributing drugs first. This has been done repeatedly to other countries as well.

[@Huxtee7]

look at the fent problem in AMERICA. Its is a war on the people.

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS. BLESS MY FRIENDS FROM MYANMAR-

[@dcinput7645]

Shameless promotion of Duterte 2. Addicts should be rehabilitated, dealers should have trial and be punished by locking or something, not being killed on the crime scene... That way everyone can be accused to be dealer and get killed, because of private interests.

[@ashesmandalay1762]

First image comes up and I'm frozen because I know exactly where this is and I've visited the Kachin Independence Organization offices just on the side of this roundabout.

Legalise drugs will prevent war and organised crime.

[@SMichaelDeHart]

No it will not. Look at California...legalized weed but yet there's still drug related gang war's.

When I saw the thumbnail, for a moment I thought it said 'Plum War'. I'm thinking, who's fighting over plums, then I read the title.😳 Also, the music sounds like the eleventh Doctor is about to do some running and some Daleks are about to get defeated.

[@adambrown8615]

You plum! Brilliant

[@theUNEXPLAINABLEuap]

Pretty cool promo what they don’t mention is that they put to death low-level drug dealers and addicts as well.

[@ItchiusScrotus]

As someone from an area destroyed by opioids I endorse these methods. You just have no idea how bad it is.

The 2 Opium Wars- 21st Century version

[@rifmaffia]

I want to see this. If Asia stopped using drugs, Asia would be a heaven and no Westener could defeat or humiliate it ever again

[@biggiesmol]

Just legalize it already.

[@DetroitFettyghost]

Make my life easier.

[@frediheld5649]

Yes...you could be rite !🐸🍁

[@blahblah60]

Its legal there and its clearly not working out for them. Especially in times of economic distress more and more will fall prey to substances. At the very least it should be shunned.

[@DetroitFettyghost]

@Danny Al I'm 39 and been addicted to heroin for 20 years I get it

[@dcinput7645]

@@DetroitFettyghost take opioids (hydromorphine, pregabiline, buprenorphine and such) from time to time when I'm free for 5 years. Never been addicted, i find it less consequential then thc or alcohol, I'm unproductive and hor*y days after thc, and alcohol is depressant makes me sad and i have hangover after it, and anyway alcohol is too much weak psychoactive supstance. Opioids do vallium, xanax and such job without consequences, never been addict, maybe it's the dosage and that I'm not into that downer thing much.

Ask John Kerry about his family ties to the Opium trade

What ties?

Don't forget the Bush's and their poppies in the mid east... funny how a war starts wherever the elites oil or drugs are threatened.

Doesn't effect USA anymore we switched to fentynl 5 years ago. Still wish I could have real heroin instead. Everyone does.
