J is for Junkie [Trailer]
J is for Junkie [Trailer] in the words of Corey Davis....
“This is my first serious attempt at film making… Growing up I never had a father, because he was out running the streets getting high… Right around the time I was born, the mid 80’s, African-American communities across the country was struck by the crack epidemic. Which robbed us our prideful culture and instantly perverted it into a counter-culture where playgrounds became warzones and families were destroyed.
Growing up, I never really respected junkies… I Just always knew they couldn’t be trusted and they made fucked up decisions… But one day in October, I decided to start filming a group crack addicts in Atlanta who live outside in a small cove behind a Texaco, infamously dubbed as the “Living Room” who share their stories and tell us what it’s like to live with a deadly addiction to crack-cocaine. Their stories would change me forever…” [Directed by Corey Davis]

The cinematography is haunting. I really love this. Can't wait to see the full length.
Wow! Great job capturing the real side of this epidemic, or epidemic. Mothers, fathers, grandmothers, etc. they are all a part of this. It effects everyone not just the user. I can't wait to see the finish product. This shit is real!
I am severly intrigued by the lives of people who some consider less than human or lost. I know this video will shed light on this disease and the people who suffer from it. the world would be soo much better if we all got to know someone else's story to see how it relates to our own.
