Description

Drug addicts – a group of compassionate police in Vancouver started documenting their work on the streets, with long-term addicts, with the idea of creating a powerful tool to prevent drug use among young people. This resulted in an unusual relatonship between the police and the addicts in the downtown area. The result is a hard-hitting and raw documentary which gives addicts a chance to talk openly about who they are and how they came to where they are now. Through their participation they want to stop others from joining their nightmare.
