Afghanistan's Billion Dollar Drug War

Correspondent Steve Chao takes viewers to Afghanistan to investigate the country's role in the global drug industry, revealing the devastating impact it has had on Afghan citizens in particular.

Studies estimate there are some 2.9 million heroin users in Afghanistan, making it the highest per capita in the world, which makes sense considering Afghan poppy accounts for 90 percent of the world's heroin. Chao first takes viewers to the southern part of the country, which he describes as "Ground Zero" in the global war on drugs.

An entire community of drug addicts lives under a bridge in Kabul. He speaks to some of these individuals, bringing light to their situation and humanizing the people Westerners and others with First World privilege tend to look down on. One interview subject explains that, despite his general intelligence and an ability to speak four languages, an inability to find work has led him to this life of drug use and homelessness. According to him, this is the only place he is welcome.

Afghanistan's 'Billion Dollar Drug War' offers a stark look at the global drug trade and how the people of Afghanistan unwillingly perpetuate it while suffering the ongoing consequences of poverty and addiction.
