In early 2015, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, stated<\/a> that Indonesia was in a state of emergency due to rampant drug use and declared a renewed \u2018war on drugs\u2019<\/a>. In practice, this led to increased funding for law enforcement and a series of punitive measures that have exacerbated the problem instead of addressing it.<\/div>\n

The short documentary film Dying a Slow Death: Inside Indonesia’s Drug War, produced by the Indonesian Drug Users Network (PKNI) and the Drugreporter, documents the first-hand impacts of the drug war as experienced by the community itself. The documentary features testimony and interviews with people who use drugs, methadone patients, academics and religious leaders, and was filmed and conceived by local drug user community activists. Beginning with the execution<\/a> of 14 drug traffickers earlier this year, the film details how Indonesia is sliding toward compulsory drug treatment, increased extortion and bribery, while creating more barriers to access of health and support services.<\/p>\n
