High on perceptions
Description
This film explores drug use, both legal and illegal, and its effects on the daily lives of young people. Turning the cameras on themselves and their friends at home, in therapy offices, and secret hangout spots, EVC youth producers give an intimate portrayal of teens and their families trapped in a world of pain and addiction. Their stories challenge us to rethink the perceptions and stereotypes we may hold of drugs and young drug users in our community.
