It invites you to consider the stereotypes attached to addiction and how all of us can be vulnerable to it.
Exploring pills, drink, snuff and cigarettes, we uncover the many faces of addiction and the many attempts to combat it. We explore the dark origins of substance addiction in the western world – rooted deeply in colonialism and slavery.
