Documenting the drug issues in rural Ireland

‘Rural Addiction’ is a powerful and penetrating look at drug addiction and the support services available in rural Ireland today, says documentary maker Geoff Power

Persuading someone to discuss their past, present, and future on camera is a delicate process. You urge deliberation; you advise them of the repercussions; and you warn that a television audience will ultimately judge, condemn and maybe applaud.

For the average, well-adjusted person it is a difficult decision but for an addict, already vulnerable and an outcast of society, it signifies a huge step.
