Documentary: “Dope Sick Love - New York Junkies”

Hell on Earth really…

“Dope Sick Love” is a really remarkable documentary made for HBO about two pairs of heroin addicted lovers roaming the streets of NYC. There is no narration and we never see any interviews with the subjects, the camera just follows them around, like a third eye, completely detached. The people being followed don’t even seem aware that they’re being filmed! (or, at least, they don’t seem to care).

Scary (!) stuff…By the way…doc is probably NSFW.

    I watched this documentary last time they showed it on TV. I agree, it’s incredible scary that drugs can make people live that kind of life. Sad really…

    “Dope Sick Love” is sometimes heard the other way around (”Love-sick Dope”)
    The quote is a palindrome.
    Never mind it though. :)
