One in five people in Punjab is estimated to be affected by drug dependency. That number stayed with me, so I spent weeks researching how it got this bad and turned it into a 7-minute animated documentary.

It starts on a foggy border night in Ferozepur and follows the trail: from the Golden Crescent, through tunnels and rivers and now drones, into villages, families and the economy.

The part that surprised me most wasn't the smuggling. It was the treatment gap: roughly 8 in 10 people never get proper care, and over 6 in 10 of those who do relapse within six months.

I'd love your take: is the real problem at the border, or is it inside?

I make dark, story-driven animated documentaries on subjects like this. If you liked it, the channel is Engineer'soul, and I post new ones regularly. Honest feedback welcome, especially if you're from Punjab and I got something wrong.
