Better Dead - Then and Now

1985

39 min

English

No trailer available

As well as the original film, Better Dead, this programme contains a follow-up of some of the addicts originally featured. Some have given up drugs altogether and are working to help others through rehabilitation; of some there is no trace. But Steve, the most persuasive and articulate of the original group, is still addicted and still talking, nearly 15 years later. Includes notes.
