For over a century, the British Crown ran the largest, richest, and most destructive narcotics operation in human history — earning more from illegal drugs than Microsoft makes from Windows today. This documentary uncovers how Britain used opium not just as a commodity… but as a weapon. A blueprint for modern economic warfare designed to break China’s economy, drain its silver, and destabilize the world’s oldest civilization.

Backed by Parliament, protected by the Royal Navy, and executed through the East India Company, Britain grew opium in India, smuggled it into China, and then declared war when China tried to stop them. The result: 12 million addicts, two Opium Wars, and the transformation of London into the world’s financial capital. This is the story of how a small island nation turned addiction into imperial policy. How a Christian empire became history’s most profitable drug cartel. And how the consequences still shape global power today.
