Narrated by Paul Newman, The Distant Drummer: Flowers of Darkness is an unflinching, no-nonsense look at the opium trade – where it happens, how it is transported, and it’s ultimate effects on the world community.
With footage direct from the fields of Afghanistan to the streets of our communities, the reach and power of the poppy was as powerful in the early 1970’s, when this film was made, as it is now.
