Great documentary! 2thumbs up!

whats its like to shoot drugs and be exploited then don't post a review. how many addicts are afforded the opportunity to tell their story without a running commentary by an "expert"? most documentaries or shows that deal with addiction have a slant or a moral judement call of some kind. this film did none of that. the only time it came close was towards the beginning when her best friend gave us a little background on Lisa" story. and i feel that even she was fairly objective about what she had to say. she was in no way exploited. this was very fairly and objectively done. one more thing, Lisa volunteered for this in the first place, she was not propositioned.

I really couldn't make it through this entire film. I thought she would be talking more about recovery. It does not surprise me that someone with good upbringing can end up on crack resorting to prostitution - what I found sad was that it seemed that the film maker was exploiting her the same way that the men who hired her did.

it was ok good information and can see how crack does effect someone but the whole movie is in her hotel/motel watching her talk and talk on the phone id say worth watching but dont expect anything to great.

This film is very good at showing the chaos of addiction and how it plays out in one person's life during a small chunk of time. It is raw, real, revealing, and sad. I have commented in more detail about the film, and made some suggestions about what needs to happen for Lisa to turn her life around, here on my blog: www.addictionmanagement.org John Fitzgerlad, PhD, LPC, CAS
