A riveting thriller filmed on location in Pakistan, Hamburg and London, Traffik is an unflinching look at those who grow, sell and use drugs and the futility of efforts to stop them. Starring Bill Paterson (The Singing Detective), Lindsay Duncan (An Ideal Husband) and Julia Ormand (First Knight) in her extraordinary film debut.
Three lives intersect explosively on the front lines of the drug war. Jack, a British government minister, thinks diplomacy will prevail until a fact-finding mission to Pakistan coincides with volcanic upheaval in his personal life. Helen, the British wife of a German businessman caught smuggling heroin, discovers her own steely determination to survive. And Fazal, a Pakistani farmer forced out of his poppy fields, find a far more dangerous occupation.
