This work represents the first stage of a series of documents
exploring the growing phenomena of Class-A drug usage in Britain’s provincial
towns and cities.
To a degree I am interested in challenging the current demise
in ‘front facing’ documentary in the U.K. and perhaps ask questions
as to why this has come about.
The work is self-funded and will continue throughout
2009.
