Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

imdbyes I've seen a lot of documentary's about drugs, prostitution, and all sorts of things, but this one was the hardest to watch so far, it was just heartbreaking. I can't get it out of my mind. It just kinda sticks with you. It is sad, but it is an important film everyone should see. We see a side of life that many are never exposed too, and will never see--only through a documentary like this one. This documentary went deep, it never held back--it showed us the stark reality that some people have to live while others are busy eating their popcorn in the comfort of their warm houses. This documentary is a must see. It will affect you somehow.

Blondie_ Every kid should see this very depressing, dark, and scary, and well-made documentary to see how evil drugs really are. It should be a must in any health/safety high school class! I know the documentary was made quite some time ago and I would love to see an update on the young adults who were featured in it. I do know that Tracy, the woman with the long brown hair and glasses, sobered up and is doing well. She was on the Oprah Winfrey show about two years ago on a segment about a women's drug rehab center-she was one of the people who had made it through the program. Sadly though, some of those people featured on the HBO doc looked so near death you know they probably are dead by now.

Subes I have known a few people caught in the horror of heroin, this documentary is very accurate and done well. It is very depressing but very true. I only hope HBO will do a follow-up story (if any of the people featured are still alive).

Mike The people in this documentary are the saddest, most pathetic group I've ever seen in my life. They shoot up, prostitute, then repeat. Unflinching, pretty hardcore. HBO makes really good documentaries, not trying to sugarcoat or alter society, they convey it to us with a style that is not added, but already there.
