For the making of his latest film, Opium War, which is set in a poppy field, Barmak had found the perfect site - a lonely hilltop in central Afghanistan, framed by the snow-covered peaks of nearby mountains. With the stunning vision of pink poppies swaying against the slopes of the Hindu Kush in mind, he finally obtained permission from the government to plant the illegal crop.
