A trailer for the documentary film Perfume War, about grower Abdullah Arsala of Aghanistan and Barb Stegemann of Canadian perfume house The 7 Virtues. You can read more about the film at The Man Who Defied the Taliban by Growing Flowers at Pacific Standard:

Stegemann, who borrowed off her credit card after her bank refused her a loan, spent 2,000 Canadian dollars to purchase one cup of the bitter orange oil to produce her first perfume, Afghanistan Orange Blossom.
