Part dramatization, part documentary, this
engrossing study of crack cocaine makes a powerful statement on the drug’s
highly addictive nature. The docudrama profiles "Daniel Preston," an
upwardly mobile user of recreational drugs who gets high on crack as part of
an experiment and finds he cannot shake his craving for it. Interspersed
throughout this classic program, a drug counselor, a psychiatrist, and crack
addicts talk about how it feels to get high on crack, behaviors and health
problems related to crack addiction, why crack addiction is so hard to
break, and crack’s role as a gateway drug. In addition, onscreen text gives
information on the history of coca use, the extraction and processing of
cocaine, cocaine smuggling and distribution, and the manufacture of crack.
