    If You Want to Understand Addiction This Is the Film to Watch
    What an amazing documentary! It puts a face on a disease that impacts EVERYONE in some way, whether directly or indirectly. As a mental health and addiction professional, I found the film validating of what I already knew based on my experience with clients, but also so elucidating and informative--but in an approachable and not scientific/cold way. Even though it's a documentary, you care about the "characters" and their stories and want to see them do well. You learn how addiction (whether it's crystal meth or ANY drug/alcohol) works from the people experiencing. How it affects them, their lives, their families, and so on. It's really well-made as a film (so many docs are amateurish) and I believe is a truly valuable contribution to the addiction treatment industry (I will show it to my clients!) as well as the public at large that rarely understands the disease beyond "Why can't they just stop?" I've read Dr. Fawcett's book (and highly recommend that as well), and this film is a "3-D" extension of that information. I can't recommend this film highly enough.
