Vice Article on Meth in LA

A pregnant stripper shoots up; a woman in an Obama mask gives a blowjob in front of a cheering crowd at a militia rally; a junkie couple make love and meth on camera. These are but a few of the striking, disturbing scenes in Roberto Minervini's latest film, The Other Side, premiering in New York this Friday, April 8, as part of Lincoln Center's documentary showcase Art of the Real. The Italian-born Houston-based filmmaker's access to Bayou hedonism is unrivaled, but so too is his respect for his on-screen collaborators. Minervini avoids romanticizing the suffering of his addiction-riddled subjects—especially the central ones, Mark and Lisa, a local dealer and his girlfriend—while still capturing the beauty, darkness, and anger that pervades small-town Louisiana around them.

The pregnant girl [shooting up], for me, is so important because of the social condition that people inherit, especially in America where there's not a lot of class mobility. For me, it's key to show the inheritance, that [this condition has] been passed along generations. Maybe this image will scare some people off, but hopefully I can shake things up politically with the discourse that this image will trigger. My intent is definitely to create a bigger discourse than just victimization, suffering, and addiction.
maybe there isn't a ton of social mobility for these people because they shot up while they are knocked up.
The filmmaker should be held libel from not slapping the shite out of that women.

Right? This has to be the stupidest thing that I've seen in a while. Especially in Louisiana where you can half arse it in high school and basically get a free ride to a state university.

That film looks incredible. I wonder where it was filmed? If I had to guess, I would think someplace deep in Vernon or Sabine Parish. Maybe Avoyelles. Maybe Allen.
