London — Distributor Peccadillo Pictures is to give a theatrical release to Vice Media’s hard-hitting documentary film “Chemsex” in the U.K. and Ireland in November.
Traversing a dark underworld of intravenous drug use and weekend-long sex parties, “Chemsex” tells the story of a group of men battling with HIV, drug addiction and finding acceptance in a changing world — and one health worker who has made it his mission to save them.
The film, directed by Vice’s Will Fairman and Max Gogarty, explores the lives and fortunes of a group of men actively taking part in the chemsex lifestyle, and those who have come out the other end and survived. With unprecedented access to chemsex parties and the U.K. health service’s only chemsex support clinic, 56 Dean Street in London, the film seeks to understand the complex issues at the heart of the story, exploring notions such as internalized shame, »
