Heroin. Wind from the South

This documentary highlights that the annual opium production in Afghanistan amounts to 150 billion single doses, vastly exceeding the world's population. The film underscores the dire consequences of this production, noting that even if all heroin production were halted, the existing reserves could last another century.

The documentary also addresses the tragic human toll, revealing that more than 100,000 people die from Afghan heroin annually, with a significant portion of these deaths occurring among Russians. It discusses the dramatic increase in opiate production following the U.S. and NATO military presence in Afghanistan after 2001, which saw a 44-fold rise in production over nine years. This film is a stark exploration of the complex relationship between conflict and drug production.
