Synopsis
Thousands of young people are dying because of drugs in Kachin State, Myanmar. When the government is indifferent and not doing enough to crack down the drugs problem, the civilians formed an anti-drugs organization in 2014 called “Pat Jasan” which means “Stop and Clean drugs” in local Kachin language.
When “Pat Jasan” civilians started to take action against drugs dealers and drugs addicts, there is a big clash between civil anti-drugs group and drugs lords. To make it worse, the corrupted authorities are on the side of drugs lords and creating many problems for anti-drugs activists civilians.
