Once they were known for cultivating opium. Their strong-hold was the Golden Triangle in the Thailand, Laos and Burma borderland. They were the Hmong and one of their leader was the charismatic headman Lao Tong. In 1969, the Swedish filmmaker Pe Å Holmquist made a Super 8-mm film on Lao Tong the Hmong, in the middle of the Vietnam war. Coming back to South-East Asia after 30 years, the film crew found everything different. In the Thai mountains, vast chrysanthemum fields are now planted under the supervision of Lao Tong. The old headman had had enough of opium ! This film on the Hmong people also describes the Hmong situation in Laos and in the United States.
