Dope Sick Love, NYC Heroin Junkies, HBO Documentary

"Dope Sick Love" is a really remarkable documentary made for HBO about two pairs of heroin addicted lovers roaming the streets of NYC. I managed to catch it one night by accident and found it absolutely mesmerizing. There is no narration and we never see any interviews with the subjects, the camera just follows them around, like a third eye, completely detached. The people being followed don't even seem aware that they're being filmed! (or, at least, they don't seem to care). The footage is amazingly candid. Some of the most candid I've ever seen. This is as real as it gets. The nuts and bolts of what its like to be on the street and addicted to heroin. We watch them score dope, shoot it, make up, hustle, and even impersonate cops to rob people, and about a million other tiny details that less observant documentary filmmakers would leave out. Some of the footage is truly horrifying. Like watching one guy frantically searching for the fix he lost. I found myself praying that he would find it, just so that his misery would temporarily end. And when he does find it, the guy literally dances in the street. The cyclical nature of drug addiction becomes very apparent while watching this. EVERYTHING is about getting the next score to these folks, yet the next score seems to be well worth the immense trouble they go through.

Weird. Martin for someone who has uploaded some interesting things, your comment suggests you've learned nothing, and you still basically hate humanity. Which if course probably means you hate yourself That or you're a compete fuckwit.
I'm sure you wish it were that simple.
I'm also REALLY sure that if you were on the streets and extremely ill, thinking you're dying, you'd rather just lay down and die than do whatever it takes short of hurting others to survive.
Your lack of empathy and viciousness at people in dire straights suggest you really ought to get yourself help before you allow your psychopathic tendencies to hurt someone.

I guess i should learn to read before I download but hardcoded subs are stupid.

Some people really need to get off their high horse and stop assuming things about the uploader, you really do not know shit. If you don't like his comments, don't read it. If you do read it, take it with a grain of salt, and don't assume that he means it seriously. People really are incredibly dumb.

Well the OP just validated the poster's comment so check YOURSELF.

I found this moving and heartbreaking.
for them, dope is the heart of our hearless world, the soul of soulless conditions, the sigh of the oppressed creature.
thanks for sharing
