Meth Storm

The documentary follows drug addiction and dealing in rural Arkansas. While police and federal agents contend with organised networks, the ones caught in the middle are the people of poor districts; a life without work, turning between addiction and prison. The film does not tell this cycle as a moral failure but shows it as an economic blockage. The camera goes inside houses and lets people’s own accounts run without cutting them. The film stands neither with the police nor against them; it leaves both inside the same frame. It makes no promise of saving anyone and reaches no resolution. The ninety six minute American documentary by Craig Renaud and Brent Renaud was completed in 2017.
