J is for Junkie [Trailer]

Greedmont TV and Creative Control presents J or Junkie. This is my first serious attempt at film making… Growing up I never had a father, because he was out running the streets getting high… Right around the time I was born, the mid 80′s, African-American communities across the country was struck by the crack epidemic. Which robbed us our prideful culture and instantly perverted it into a counter-culture where playgrounds became warzones and families were destroyed.
Growing up, I never really respected junkies… I Just always knew they couldn’t be trusted and they made fucked up decisions… But one day in October, I decided to start filming a group crack addicts in Atlanta who live outside in a small cove behind a Texaco, infamously dubbed as the “Living Room” who share their stories and tell us what it’s like to battle a deadly addiction to crack-cocaine. Their stories would change me forever… [Directed by Corey Davis]

this took so much courage. this trailer gave me chills. i am beyond excited to watch the full documentary.
man. i live right by 5 points train station by woodruff, and i wonder what stories some of those guys have. now i get to find out. -iz
This is looking really brilliant. Never had a relationship with my father because of heroin, it’s about time someone put a story and face behind the nameless “junkies” bordering every city in America
this shxt was so neccessary (hov voice)
The lady is the red hat, is the dopest, every time I come to the area me and her chat it up. She always has a compliment and a warning for me. Every one has a story, thank you for giving them a voice!!!
Cant wait to see the rest. I hope you run it through the film festivals! Im sure it will be award worthy.
-BEST WISHES !
