Addiction (2007)


Runtime : 86 min

Evo omnibus dokumentarca koji sam vam obećao, a čiju najavu tj. segment South Boston Drug Court (2007) ste već imali prilike da vidite, ali zbog toga što je malo duži nije ušao u ovih 86 minuta. Inače, omnibus je odlično urađen, jako je edukativan kada je u pitanju ovisnost i nova stremljena u lečenju narkomanije. Sastoji se od 9 segmenata i svaki traje po 10-ak minuta, taman da se ispriča ono što treba. Najtoplije preporučujem jer zaista se radi o vrhunskim autorima dokumentarnih filmova i jako bitnim temama.
