This documentary delivers a raw, unfiltered, never-before-seen look at the crack epidemic in Barbados. Through intimate interviews and on-the-ground access, it follows the lives of Barbadians battling active addiction and those fighting their way through recovery. Viewers are taken deep into the streets, communities, and prisons where substance use intersects with trauma, poverty, violence, and survival.
The film exposes the hidden realities often left out of public conversation: childhood trauma, sexual abuse, pedophilia, broken homes, mental health struggles, and the painful cycles of prostitution and incarceration. It also highlights stories of resilience—people rebuilding their lives, reconnecting with family, and confronting the generational wounds that shaped their addictions.
More than a documentary, this is a human story. It challenges stereotypes, confronts taboos, and makes visible the people Barbados rarely sees. The result is a bold, honest exploration of how addiction affects individuals, families, and the nation itself.
