A most excellent English mini-series (cop/thriller category, I'd guess) that takes place in Pakistan, London and Hamburg. It's about the heroin trade, all aspects from the small time farmers who grow the poppies through the big time suppliers to the small time dealers and addicted users. It's excellently done. The location filming is very interesting, especially as it was done in 1989 and includes a few scenes in Afghanistan portraying the Taliban and the fight against the Russians.
There was a later Hollywood movie of the same name that, in my opinion, is but a pale and quite inferior, copy. It takes place, mainly, in Mexico, and deals with marijuana and cocaine. That one uses the English spelling, Traffic.
