Heroin(e)
This short film can be watched on Netfilx (US).
When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' --Mr. Rogers
There are a lot of bad and tragic things happening in the world today-- A LOT of bad things. The problem of life destroying drug use is rampantly out of control like a wildfire. I know that, in the life I live, I am sheltered the reality of what is happening--but its is out there. It is hard to not become callus in today's world. Documentaries this this one remind of the immerse challenges facing society here in the 2020s.
But more importantly, this film reminds us that there are helpers. There are people who make it their life mission to help those in need. They are true heroes. They are not doing it for the glory and definitely not for the money. There is a lot of bad in the world...but there is good too. Be good!
