A must see
"An intensely human, immensely moving documentary. It is a visually compelling, eloquently stated argument for rehabilitation rather than retribution for drug addicts. It's a must-see experience."
Lee Davis, Critic- Press News Group
HEART PLUS ART
There have been many films about drug addiction, what makes The Last Fix exceptional is that the filmmakers gained the trust of the recovering addicts to such a degree. This shows that time was spent getting to know them and the drug court model and philosophy. In other words the filmmakers didn't parachute in, turn on the camera and then leave so they also gained the trust of the drug court team members . And they showed the East End Regional Treatment Court in the context of the national Drug court movement and weaved in the footage of NADCP , the drug corts' national convention artfully.
This film is a combination of the art of documentary filmmaking ( great editing) and heart. Heart and art makes 5 stars.
the last fix
i find this to be an excellent resource if you are a therapist or in the helping professions. I would highly recommend.
