Audience Member Depicts the dirty drug side of glace bay very well as the documentry follows a few young drug addicts as they struggle to overcome their addiction. The casts are very human, sympathetic, lonely and desperate to escape their hard lives lived in the shadows and backstrets of Glace Bay. Since I live in Glace Bay I can pass on what I have heard and it is good news all of the young people in the film have straightened their lives out for the better! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting doc, worth giving a look before this becomes a history lesson. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It's unbelievable to witness that we live in the most beautiful place on earth, and yet just down the road is this huge problem. Lack of jobs resulting into proverty, which results into drugs and addiction. Addiction made by the maker. Every caper should watch this. It's shocking. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member very enjoyable for its class, I really connected witht he addicts:P Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Although I was really excited to see a doc pay attention to a problem close to home (quite literally), the effort resulted in three and a half stars.
