Traffik

This dramatic miniseries follows the heroin trade from the slums of Karachi, Pakistan to the halls of British Parliament via Hamburg, Germany, and served as the basis for Steven Soderbergh's Oscar-winning film. From poppy fields to a cabinet minister's junkie daughter to a busted drug smuggler's wife taking over the business to maintain her economic status, this examination of all aspects of the drug war is both engrossing and devastating.
