The Rights Reporter Foundation (Drugreporter) and the International Network of People who use Drugs (INPUD) produced this documentary film series that aims to document how the movement of people who use drugs have formed around the world, how they maintain momentum and mobilise, and how they undertake their work and show resilience in a context of criminalisation, marginalisation and oppression. This is the main summary page of all the 10 episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Since January 1981, when the first drug user group \u2018Junkie-bond\u2019 was established in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the drug user movement has grown exponentially: people who use drugs have continued to organise and form collectives and unions to protect and defend the health and human rights of their community. This struggle for autonomy, self-determination and empowerment of people who use drugs has been, and is, a global phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rights Reporter Foundation (Drugreporter) and the International Network of People who Use Drugs <\/a>(INPUD) produced this documentary film series that aims to document how the movement of people who use drugs have formed around the world, how they maintain momentum and mobilise, and how they undertake their work and show resilience in a context of criminalisation, marginalisation and oppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The episodes follow the timeline of the development of the movement of people who use drugs from Amsterdam to Afghanistan and globally. The production of the series has been a great adventure. We conducted 34 video interviews in 20 countries around the world. 8 interviews were filmed by the Rights Reporter Foundation, the rest by members of the Drugreporter Video Advocacy Network<\/a>, video activists, and freelance videographers worldwide. The documentary series was also part of the online conference \u201cHIV 2020: Community Reclaiming the Global Response<\/a>\u201d which ran from July through October of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEpisode 1.
