Black Fortress of Opium

ARVE Error: The [[arve]] shortcode needs one of this attributes av1mp4, mp4, m4v, webm, ogv, url

This is a short documentary about the Opium Poppy farmers of Central Turkey, which I produced, filmed, directed and edited in the summer of 2009. I was commissioned to make the film for Current TV.

This is my original edit before Current cut it down to a length of eight minutes.

Special thanks to Dogan Sahin, Aysegul Ahiskali and Jorrit Kamminga.
