Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Adrian Cowell
Adrian Cowell was an influential and award-winning British documentary film maker. He is best known for his work on the Amazon rainforest and the tribes who lived there. These films and his writings brought the rainforest ecological crisis to the world’s attention, and spurred international action.
John Adrian Cowell was born February 2, 1934 in Tientsin (also known as Tianjin) in China [although some sources report his birthplace as Tangshan, a nearby town], where his British father, Edmund Cowell, worked in the coal mining industry. Adrian and his brother Christopher went to school abroad in Australia and England. They both attended Ambleforth College, a Catholic preparatory school in North Yorkshire. Adrian went on to St. Catherine’s College at Cambridge. In his first year, he ran the Cowell Oriental Trading Agency, which imported Chinese trinkets from Hong Kong and sold them to fellow undergraduates and shops in London. He also founded the Cambridge University Wine and Food Society. Cowell graduated in History in 1955.
Cowell’s first visit to Burma and introduction to filming was on the pioneering 1956 Oxford and Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition from London to Singapore, which he helped to organize. The team drove two Land Rovers from London overland on an epic perilous 12,000 mile journey to Burma and on to Singapore. Upon his return, Cowell was helped by Davis Attenborough to edit footage into three television programs which were aired on Attenborough’s BBC Travelers’ Tales series. The following year, the OxCam team undertook the 1957 Oxford and Cambridge Expedition to South America, where Cowell met the Villas brothers and made his first foray into the Brazilian rainforest. This was the beginning of his collaboration with the Villas brothers and his work about the Amazon rainforest. From 1959 to 1961, Cowell worked for ITN (Independent Television News) as Chief of the weekly series Roving Report. Among the programs directed by him are: " Mother Of Most Noble Rivers, " " Back Of Beyond " (1960), " Portrait Of Brazil, " " Caviar In The Caspian, " " Wild Goose Chase, " and " Land Beyond The Moon " (1961).
Cowell and cameraman Chris Menges (who later won two Oscars) returned to Asia several times over thirty years to document political, religious and opium issues. These films about Asia from 1966 to 1996 are the focus of this collection. In 1966, Cowell, together with Menges and George Patterson, became the first and only Westerners to venture into the remote Mustang region of Nepal. The three-man film team traveled with a group of nine Tibetan guerillas into Tibet and filmed their ambush of a Chinese truck convoy. According to some reports, the British government (secretly involved in the war) was alerted of this lapse in security and sent orders to intercept the team before they could leave Nepal, and relieve them of the footage at any cost, but the team and their footage were able to escape safely from Nepal. Another report tells of King Mahendra, the King of Nepal, ordering the Nepalese police to hunt them down. The film team escaped to the Indian border, where they were apprehended, after sending the film out safely. The resulting film, Raid into Tibet, was shown in Britain and the United States.
That same year, Cowell and Menges traveled to the remote Shan state in Burma, where they documented Shan people's insurgency against the military government. Their film The Unknown War introduced Western audiences to the guerilla war undertaken by Shan farmers-turned-fighters.
Also in 1966, Cowell and Menges produced the Light of Asia film series, three films which documented practices of Buddhism facing political change in Tibet, Thailand and Japan.
Cowell and Menges returned to the Shan state in the 1970s, where they revisited the ongoing Shan insurgency. In The Opium Warlords (1974), they introduced the complex role of the opium trade in financing the uprising. While shooting this film, they were trapped for eighteen months behind enemy lines. The Opium Warlords was a pilot for the Opium film series made in 1978. In this series, Cowell examined in depth the heroin economy in Hong Kong, the internal politics of the Shan warlords and their control of the opium trade, their remarkable offer to the United States government, and U.S. response. They returned in 1994 to film the Heroin Wars series, which revisited the subjects of the Opium series, and traced the developments in the complex relationship between the Shan insurgency and the war on drugs over 30 years
Adrian Cowell won numerous awards for his documentaries, including BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) awarded in 1966 for The Opium Trail and 1978 for Opium. Cowell was also the author of numerous articles about the insurgency and drug trade in Burma, and two books on Brazilian Indians, The Heart of the Forest and The Tribe that Hides from Man. Adrian Cowell died of a heart attack Oct. 11, 2011 in London at, age 77.
Chris Menges
Cinematographer Chris Menges was born in 1940 in Kington, Herefordshire. At age 17, he went to work for documentary film maker Alan Forbes and was hired as an apprentice from 1958-60. In the 1960s he became a camera operator for Adrian Cowell's documentaries. In 1963 he joined the World in Action (a weekly current affairs documentary series) team at Granada-tv as cameraman and worked in the Cyprus civil war, the Angola civil war, the Zanzibar revolution, South Africa, and Algeria,, among other locations.
Menges has won many awards: several BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Arts, several NSFC (National Society of Film Critics), and several ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) awards. His first BAFTA nomination was in 1983 for the Bill Forsyth film Local Hero. His first Academy Award was for the 1984 film The Killing Fields, and his 2nd Oscar was in 1986 with the historical drama The Mission. His directional debut was A World Apart which was celebrated at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival and won three major awards. He was nominated by the ASC in 1998 for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Theatrical Releases for The Boxer. His 3rd Academy Award nomination was in 1997 for Michael Collins.
Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
At the height of the Cold War in the 1960s, U.S. foreign policy in Southeast Asia was dominated by the war in Viet Nam and the drug trade from the Shan region in Burma. After Burma's democratic election in 1960, the Burmese Army staged a coup d'etat in 1962, and instituted military rule, abolishing the constitution. Scholars of Southeast Asia have argued that it was during this cold war period the lawlessness and insurgency in Burma, together with U.S. covert war strategies in the region, helped to re-establish colonial-era networks of opium dependency and caused an upsurge of opium in the world market. For the Shan, the growing U.S. war-machine in Southeast Asia was regarded with both hope and fear; they too might cash in on anti-communist sentiment to support their separatist movement. Such involvement would have meant arms and economic aid, and most importantly in their minds, it would have meant diplomatic and international pressure on the Burmese junta to revert to a legitimate constitution. However, American drug policy priorities were focused on supporting the Burmese military government with aircraft to eradicate the trade. It is against this background of a contradictory covert and overt American presence in the region that Adrian Cowell's footage is set.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The majority of this collection documents the opium and insurgency in Burma from the 1960s to 1990. The collection consists of film footage (including over 850 reels of 16mm film, approximately 900 reels audiotape, and over 270 videotapes), written materials and slides acquired during three forays into the Shan State in Burma (Myanmar) by renowned filmmaker Adrian Cowell (1934-2011). The collection contains raw film footage of Cowell’s time spent “embedded” with various Shan insurgencies, including the Shan National Army in the 1960s, and 16 months that he and English cinematographer Christopher Menges ( The Killing Fields) spent with the Shan State Army in 1972-73. The enormous amount of footage includes interviews with Lo Hsin Han, Khun Sa and several insurgents and militia leaders, as well as footage of market towns in the Shan highlands, rebel camps, opium caravans and battles. Only a small portion of the footage was used Cowell’s BBC documentaries. The Shan State was virtually closed off to the outside world in the late 1950 to 2010, in part due to conflict. The Adrian Cowell Film and Research Collection is the most extensive collection of images and footage of the Shan State in the world. It contains film footage, photographs, extensive notes and other documents collected during Cowell’s trips documenting opium merchants, opium caravans, militias and insurgents and other activities related to the opium trade.

In several cases, the same footage was used in many films, as Cowell revisited the themes in his documentaries over several years.

Raid into Tibet In 1964, Adrian Cowell, cameraman Chris Menges, and British
journalist George Patterson join a small detachment of nine exiled Tibetan
guerrilla fighters in their secret camp in a remote area of Nepal. Patterson,
who lived in Eastern Tibet before the Chinese invasion and was fluent in
Tibet’s Khampa language, gained access to the area by bluffing the team’s way
into the Nepal, claiming that they wanted to film scenes of Buddhist life. At
great risk, the three-man film team accompanies the fighters as they move their
base from Nepal over a 20,000 ft pass into Tibet and ambush an invading Chinese
military truck convoy. This is the only known film of resistance efforts in Tibet
from the remote Mustang area from 1960 to 1974. It was shown on British
television in 1966, providing Western audiences’ first glimpse of the
continuing violent resistance to Chinese occupation.
Author, journalist, and missionary George Patterson was born
in Scotland, and first went to Tibet in 1947 as a medical missionary. He was
one of the first people to report the Chinese invasion of Tibet. Patterson
lived and traveled in Tibet, becoming fluent in the Tibetan Khampa language. He
become known as “Patterson of Tibet” and the “bearded Khampa” for his support
to the Tibetan resistance fighters.

The Unknown War The filmmakers live for five months with a band of guerillas
from the Shan National Army to report on the unpublicized Shan rebellion. In
1962, the Burmese government assumed power and abolished the constitution and
Shan rights. 12,000 Shan farmers-turned-fighters are fighting for Shan
independence in several independent armies, each led by a separate rebel
leader. The three million Shan peasant farmers and villagers support the
rebellion through tax paid on their opium crops. But the armies need a strong
leader to unify the armies and lead them in the revolution. The film follows
one warlord, Sam Lo, as a possible candidate.

beginning in the Shan regions in Burma, where cultivation of the opium poppy is
fundamental to the peasant economy. Shan guerilla fighters protect the mule
opium convoys, and collect tax on the opium to finance the Shan revolution
against the Burmese dictatorship. The film follows preparation of the drug for
smuggling through Thailand, and the processing of opium into heroin for sale on
the streets of Hong Kong. Concludes with Hong Kong's history as a city based on

The Opium Warlords An inside report on the Southeast Asian narcotics business. This
film was shot during 18 months in the guerilla-held opium regions of the Shan
state in Burma, where rival warlords fight for control of the opium trade. It
continues the theme introduced in
The Unknown War and
The Opium Trail (both from 1966):
the Shan guerilla war financed by opium. In addition, this film reveals the
1973 Shan proposal to sell the U.S. government 400 tons of opium a year and
tells of Shan leader Lo Hsing Han's abduction and arrest by the Thai Government
. It describes the suppression of the proposal by the Bureau's head of the U.S.
Drug Enforcement Administration in Bangkok, his later dismissal, and the
divisions within the U.S. government in reacting to the proposal. Exposes flaws
in the structure of international narcotics law and treaties.Winner of 1979 BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television

Part 1:The White Powder Opera Hong Kong is home to the world's largest addiction problem in
the world [by 1977], and this film looks at the heroin business in Hong Kong
from two sides; a dealer gang on the street, and Hong Kong's Narcotics Bureau.
Both sides cooperate fully to allow secret filming of their operations. The
film also looks at the role of the big drug rings. The Triad gang talks about
their situation. The senior police officials analyze intelligence, discuss
their strategies, and conclude that's there's no solution to the drug problem,
just changing trends – the drug trade evolves and can't be stopped.

Part 2: The Warlords Revisits the Shan state in Burma, where one-third of the
world's narcotics are produced. The Shan State Army vies with the Burmese Home
Guard army and the Chinese KMT opium army for control of the opium trade,
attacking and defending mule opium convoys. The film follows in some detail the
distrust, betrayals, changes of alliance and assassinations between the various
armies. Lo Hsing Han (also known as Law Sit Han), a warlord dubbed the "King of
Opium" by the U.S. Narcotics Bureau, rises to power and talks openly to the
camera about his opium business. In 1974 the Shan army sends a proposal to the
U.S. to sell a large quantity of opium, hoping to reduce the fighting with a
political solution. Lo Hsing Han has the power to resolve the opium anarchy in
the Shan state, and is arrested by Thai police, who have a vested interest in
the opium trade, and extradited to Burma.

Part 3:The
Politicians In the United States, President Carter and top government
officials react to the controversial Shan proposal that the U.S. buy the entire
opium output of the Shan State from warlord Khun Sa. The Congressional Select
Committee on Narcotics and the White House Office of Drug Abuse Policy (which
includes the DEA, the National Institute of Drug Abuse ,and the State
department) disagree about what must be done to eliminate opium production in
Shan state. Congressman Lester Wolff holds hearings on the proposal and
provides unusual access to the camera crew. Includes footage of President
Carter and the July 1977 hearings debating United States' international drug
policy.

Part 1: The Opium Convoys
Picks up the story in the 1960s when the Burmese Army seized
power in a coup and abolished Burma's democratic constitution and Parliament.
The Shan farmers’ war of independence against the dictatorship is financed with
their only source of ready money, opium. The film follows Shan guerilla armies
as they fight for control of the huge mule convoys which export the opium to
the outside world. It also shows the United States attacking the convoys in the
1970s. Lo Hsing Han, "King of Opium," proposes the sale of opium to the U.S. to
end the opium trade, but his proposal is suppressed and the U.S. cooperates
with Thai police to arrest him, under the pretext of agreeing to negotiate his
proposal. Lo Hsing's warlord successor, Khun Sa, sends a new proposal, which is
debated by Carter Administration drug policy officials and rejected. Instead,
the U.S. decides to give money and airplanes to Burma, a policy which fails to
intercept any opium in its ten-year campaign. The Burmese junta's 1988 massacre
of thousands of pro-democracy protestors sparks world outrage. Wolff, Nellis
and Borne are interviewed in the 1990s about the US drug policy's lack of
success. Khun Sa celebrates his 60th birthday and is indicted and threatened
with kidnaping by the United States.

Part 2: Smack City An in-depth look at the war on drugs in Hong Kong over twenty
years, examining the heroin economy and drug war from the viewpoints of
consumer, pusher and law enforcement. The film team follows the Triad street
drug gang filmed in 1978’s
The White Powder
Opera, and analyzes the Hong Kong police's apparently futile war
against the drug trade. Enforcement efforts and the market economy created an
escalation from opium to the heroin, which is more harmful and addictive, and
easier to smuggle. Hong Kong's addiction rates have stabilized since the 1960s,
but the rest of the world's addiction rates have soared, and the war on drugs
continues to evolve.

Part 3: The Kings of Opium The final film in the Heroin Wars
series examines the progression over 30 years of the intertwined drug war and
Shans’ war of independence in Burma. By 1993, the villagers grow 2-5 times more
opium than in the 1970s. The civil war has escalated. The Burmese armies'
brutalities lead to international outcry and a conflict between US Human Rights
and drug policies. Shan armies are recruiting and training large numbers of
soldiers. Warlord Kuhn Sa, the second "King of Opium," is interviewed,
declaring his dedication to Shan independence. In a 1994 interview, Carter aide
Peter Bourne reevaluates the 1974_ White House response to the Shan proposals
to hand over its opium and end the trade. Meanwhile Lo Hsing Han, the first
"King of Opium," regains power over the narcotics trade, leading to Khun Sa's
1995 surrender and abandoning the cause of Shan independence to protect his
narcotics business. By 1996, both men are wealthy and powerful, and the amount
of opium produced in Shan State has increased ten times. Despite massive U.S.
aid to Burmese for drug enforcement, less than 1% of the narcotics in Burma
have been intercepted.
