Heroines
Description
This disturbing and controversial documentary presents a raw glimpse into the world of female heroin addicts. Filmed in Vancouver and told through the images of renowned photographer Lincoln Clarkes, the poetry of award-winning writer Susan Musgrave, and the experiences of six "heroines," the program creates a harsh collage of personal stories that share common themes of abuse, rape, and addiction. Like all of Clarkes' powerful photos, Heroines humanizes a world most people ignore-along with the women who inhabit it, struggling to survive at the fringes of society. Some language and content may be objectionable.
