The Traffik Resource

Back in 1989 Traffik provided Julia Ormond with one of her first big rolls. It was a six part miniseries originally broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK. Later it would be shown on American PBS, and would also get video releases in different parts of the world, although not it seems in the UK!

After the release of the American movie Traffic there has been new interest in the original series and I thought it would make sense to gather some information about it on one page.
