Synopsis

The original, Emmy-winning British miniseries about the drug trade, and the source for Steven Soderbergh's Oscar-winning film Traffic.

Review

From the fields of Pakistan through the docks of Hamburg to the halls of London's power elite, this epic drama crosses continents and cultures to portray the dark and dangerous world of international drug smuggling. The intersecting stories of vivid characters - a British minister with a drug-addicted daughter, the wife of a German businessman whose husband is arrested for drug trafficking and a Pakistani farmer struggling to live off his land - spin a powerful web of intrigue and emotion.

Starring Bill Paterson (The Singing Detective), Lindsay Duncan (An Ideal Husband) and Julia Ormond (First Knight) in her extraordinary film debut. This original British version features 15 minutes of additional footage not seen on PBS.
