Description

An award-winning film that explores the various causes and effects of crystal meth addiction, charting the long path to recovery. Nationwide, there has been an upward trend in addiction to crystal meth and it has specifically hit one market very hard. To quote the headline in this New York Times op-ed article, ' Gay Men Are Dying From a Crisis We’re Not Talking About.' Crystal City is a documentary which brings us closer to men in New York City who are working towards recovery from crystal meth. The film is 80 min. in length and we'll have a brief Q&A afterwards with experts who can weigh in and put the film's context into a local perspective and assist with resources available.
