Opium War by Siddiq Barmak
The best film winner at the 2008 edition of the Rome Film Festival was Siddiq Barmak's drama Opium War. Following a helicopter crash, two American soldiers are stranded in Afghanistan. After some relaxing moments — with the help of that substance found in poppies — they encounter an Afghan family living inside a tank.
