From the film “Distant Drummer: Flowers of Darkness” (1972) by Airlie Productions. Follows the history of opium and gauges the impact of heroin use on the modern world. A dated but otherwise fascinating documentary.

This is a beautiful video tribute to the late comedian/philosopher Bill Hicks and his take on “The War on Drugs”. I think the song on the soundtrack is a remixed Godspeed You Black Emperor track, but I could be wrong. Anyways, the animation and editing in this is hypnotic. Take a look.
