Unlike any other documentary I have ever seen. American Meth tells the story of just a few of the innumerable victims of methamphetamine. A prisoner, three members of a revolutionary drug treatment program and a family of six as well as various interviews with other young users. This movie provides a heartbreaking look into a drug epidemic that has caught on in plague-like in manner. Children go unloved and uncared for. Family members neglected and naive teens who ignore all the warnings and dive headfirst into a world of shattered dreams and broken teeth because there's "nothing better to do".
I was on the edge of tears throughout most of the interviews of 29 year old James and 26 year old Holly, both meth addicts and parents of four children ranging form age 8 to 2 years old.
The toll crystal meth has taken on rural America is devastating and surreal as American Meth tells. This doc paints a simple and unpleasant picture of the problem, as well as a half dozen solutions.
