About this work

Description

This DVD contains a compilation of both titles with the second part a follow-up film made in 1985 with some of the addicts originally featured. Some of the original participants have given up drugs altogether and are working to help others through rehabilitation; of some there is no trace. Steve, the most persuasive and articulate of the original group, in interview, is still addicted and still talking, nearly 15 year later. His wife provides an interesting and depressing insight into Steve's constant relapses. Includes notes (held in the department).
