Detox or Die
A filmmaker struggling with drug addiction turns the camera on himself, documenting an attempt to detox by an extreme and dangerous method rather than through conventional treatment. The film is built from candid, unfiltered footage shot during the process itself, so the viewer watches physical withdrawal and its psychological toll happen in something close to real time rather than hearing it described after the fact in an interview chair. There is no outside narrator smoothing the account into a tidy arc; the protagonist's own footage and testimony carry the film, including the moments where the plan clearly is not working as hoped. It sits in the same territory as other addiction diaries that trade polish for access, betting that raw access to one person's crisis says more than a broader survey of the drug trade or treatment system would.
