About the many steps in the thorny chain of drug dealing, "Traffic" follows the route of those involved in the movement—or thwarting—of illegal drugs. From the high school kid who does it, to her dealer, to his supplier, to the sources in Mexico. On the other side of it is the country's new "drug czar," the DEA agents, and the Tijuana police officer who straddles the fence. This excellent film, based on the U.K.'s Channel 4 Television program "Traffik" created by Simon Moore won Oscars® for its director, Steven Soderbergh, supporting actor, Benecio Del Toro, screenplay and film editing. Watch for cameos by California State Senator Barbara Boxer. (Laurie Sevano)
