Men Held Captive By the Power Of Drugs

A claustrophobic, formally experimental portrait of addiction and desperation, using the mockumentary frame to blur reality and observation into an unsettling study of human degradation.

Eight drug addicts are waiting for their connection in a New York apartment while a two-man documentary team films the proceedings. Things go out of control as the men grow increasingly nervous and the cameraman keeps recording.
