Drug Talk: Some Current Drug Programs

About This Movie

So, 'Drug Talk: Some Current Drug Programs' is a fascinating slice of the early '70s documentary scene. It dives deep into the realities of drug use among teens, particularly in public schools. What sets it apart are the raw, unfiltered looks at various programs—like the ex-addict sharing his story, which hits hard, and the police lecture that feels uncomfortably real. The pacing can be a bit uneven, and sometimes it meanders, but that's part of its charm. It captures a time when society was grappling with this issue, and the atmosphere is pretty intense yet educational. You get a sense of urgency and concern, but also a glimpse into community efforts in real-time. It's a unique period piece, really.
