'Little Criminals' - 2001(Clip 1: I am a junkie/intro to Chris)

A short clip from my controversial documentary feature called Little Criminals (64 mins). This film came close to completely destroying me but I just had to make it. A year in the lives of a group of junkie shoplifters in Glasgow, Scotland (1999-2000). Some sections were broadcast in Detox or Die (BBC One Life, 2004). BAFTA Scotland nomination 2002. Celtic Film & TV Festival 2002.

Did he say three generations of drug users staying in the same home?

How do they ever brake the cycle? I was just reading about how they treat drug users in Asia.Thailand is still stuck in the Boot camp mentality.When will they ever learn?

[davidgrahamscott]

@jonesingforsilver Maybe iboga could help break the cycle...

[jonesingforsilver]

@davidgrahamscott I wasn't aware of this treatment.I see this is what you used,is that correct?

In the article that I read about Thailand the General in charge of the drug uses boot camp kept telling them they should put more fish sauce (staple in Thailand) on their food.As well as having more sweets.People still think you can pound this out of people with marching.I have a friend who's been addicted to Opium for 20 years.Now he's on heavy pain killers.Won't stop.Been in rehab twice.Sad story.

don't look any thing like junkies got all their teeth still got veins inside the elbow

lifes too short those who have a hand in their death are true lovers and livers of life so get on the nod make it last

junk prolongs life by slowing metabolism
