They all have something in common &#8211; all of them use drugs. But these people are not defined by their drug use. All of them have their unique personalities, stories, and social networks. And the environment in which they live, the attitudes they face, the laws that regulate drug use, and the health services available to them have an enormous impact on their lives. This film is not only about drug users &#8211; it was also produced by drug users. It strives to challenge our common myths and preconceptions about drugs and the people who use them. It gives a voice to those representing one of the most marginalised communities of our world, to tell stories untold about hate, love, suffering, and happiness. It shows how they engage in social activism to break the silence and fight the stigma that shadows their days. <a href=\"https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/en\/kreativ2017prize\/\">The film won the golden medal for best documentary at the\u00a0Online Video Award of Kreat\u00edv Magazine in 2017 in Hungary.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-the-full-film-with-english-subtitles\">The full film with English subtitles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group dr-wide-content\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FtlmZDifl74?hl=en&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;cc_load_policy=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-the-trailer\">The Trailer<\/h2>\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HnYbhpPqQsM?hl=en&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;cc_load_policy=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/z49zmc9cop3rqr9\/AABhlFZ86LOGIY5e23o_xrWja?dl=0\">You can download the video file and subtitles here!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-quotes\">Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrom the Crimea to Budapest, from New York and Mexico City to Indonesia and Nigera, this poignant film gives us an astonishingly intimate look at the lives, tribulations and inspiring resilience of drug using human beings.
