Robert Knoth & Antoinette DeJong Photo Documentary "POPPY": Trails of Afghan Heroine 2012 traces and documents the most recent history of the Opium trade in Afghanistan and describes different trafficking routes throughout the country and how opium impacts millions of people on a global scale. The project was shot and documented over 17 years and spans across 13 different countries. It documented the, and there even a video that documents the length and different locations of this project. The project did a good job of documenting Afghanistan’s poppy fields, foreign realities, militaries struggle to secure vast borders. Overall I like the project, the composition of each individual photo help reinforce the themes of not only addiction but how some people are dependent on the selling of this illegal drug for daily survival and how they make a livelihood of this plant.
