Heroin Documentary: Flowers of Darkness Public Service narrated by Paul Newman
http://www.StreetCrimeStory.com Paul Newman lent his voice to this mid 60’s heroin documentary created by the US government as the war on drugs was just beginning. Newman’s opening monologue is a surprisingly existentialist riff man’s search for happiness. “Flowers of Darkness” follows the flow of heroin from Turkey through Sicily, Corsica, and into the streets of New York CIty. If you watch closely you’ll see TONS of clips that have been used over and over in documentaries about drugs and crime during the 1960’s.
