The Seychelles markets itself on white sand and turquoise water, but the archipelago has one of the highest rates of heroin addiction in the world, with an estimated 10% of the adult population dependent on the drug. This DW Documentary report follows people living with addiction on the islands and traces how the country became a stopover on a major international trafficking route. Coast guard officers describe the difficulty of intercepting shipments across scattered islands, while sources detail how corruption inside law enforcement and government undermines enforcement efforts. The film visits a harm-reduction program offering addicts a lifeline through treatment and support, and asks officials what the government is actually doing beyond rhetoric. Interviews with users, coast guard personnel, and community workers build a picture of a small tourism-dependent nation overwhelmed by a drug economy it cannot control. The contrast between the postcard image sold to visitors and the crisis playing out away from the resorts drives the whole report.
