Description
The world of illegal drugs has entered a new era: the age of ice, or crystal methamphetamine. This program goes inside the world of “skaters” – hardcore meth addicts – who roam the inner city of Sydney, Australia.
Profiling several addicts and the ways in which ice has shaped and devastated their lives, the film depicts a typical meth user’s two-week cycle of reckless euphoria followed by a prolonged crash.
The program also includes commentary from drug treatment experts who explain how ice amplifies dopamine levels and wreaks havoc in the brain. A user named Lenore, exhibiting meth’s terrifying grasp, says that the one thing that will make her quit is “Death.”
