Film maker Eva Wunderman won the Gracie Allen award in New York for this excellent documentary and we can arrange to show it at your staff meeting or community group, as well as several others we have in our Library, along with our own informational meth presentation which includes youth in recovery speaking of their experiences.
We are hoping to arrange a crystal meth film festival in Victoria this Spring as there are so many powerful videos and documentaries available now on this urgent topic. If you'd like to help, please email me at outreach@crystalmethbc.ca
Crystal Clear was indeed a powerful film. I had the privaledge to attend the showing here in Victoria, with some of the films subjects and other compelling speakers discussing the issues afterward with the audience.
I would encourage any group or staff interested in viewing the film to have CMS put on a presentation.

I saw a short film at the Sundance Film Festival this year on meth addiciton. It was amazing, and ive seen it pop up at different meth conferences too.
Mother Superior looks good, thanks for the link. May have to cough up 15 bones, and check the flik out.
I think that is the side that isn't seen so much in media on meth...the street level hard core users are held up, but there are lots of users who are just treading water with their addiction. Some feel so trapped by keeping their fragile lives together that detox is beyond their grasp. If they have responsibilities to work and family that would crumble, the fear of being found out and having the whole fragile house of cards fold is often too much.
I wonder what the stats are here in Vic, of parents using?
