Fair Trade Heroin

NGO worker Gwen refuses to leave Afghanistan as the 1990s takeover by the Taliban sets in. Her ideas for protecting and empowering the community she is working with take an opportunistic, opium-related turn. Fifteen years later Gwen is helping migrants in the UK, set to clash with her daughter as her past catches up with her.
