Last year 1 film under name "In The Name Of Opium" by Sayed Jalal Husseini from Afghanistan was in special program ASIAN TYPHOON.

In The Name Of Opium
Afghanistan is depicted as a "Narcostate". Far from dealing with the clich's of the media, this film draws emotional moments of tragedies and brutal normality that lie buried under the headlines: drug dealers getting killed, corrupt policemen losing their wife and kid, an addict selling his daughter in order to go on with his escapism. The heartbeat of people in the heat and in the shadow, more or less unintentionally involved in a vicious circle.
