Från Opium till Krysantemum plot

Per-Åke Holmquist visits a village in Thailand where the Hmong people live, in the border area of Thailand, Laos and Burma. In 1969 he had already visited what was then a flourishing opium village, led by the charismatic chieftain Lao Tong. In the meantime, under the supervision of Lao Tong, opium cultivation has been renounced and chrysanthemums are being grown. Lao Tong is still the head of the village and directs the administration of justice.
