"Tweaked" and" Tweaked: A Generation in Overdrive", a two-part series, are both shocking and hard to watch films designed to expose the truth about Methamphetamine, the "drug of choice" ravaging America's youth.
Meth related crimes are soaring. Society struggles to understand the violence, too often blind to the cause. Parents, school and government officials see their youth changing, but have had little education regarding Meth and how to face it. In most cases, people are overwhelmed and denial permeates our communities. Yet, today's youth, as proven in these two films, are downing in a sewer filled with cheap white powder commonly known as speed, ice, crank, or crystal Meth.
The two films closely examine the allure, popularity and destructive influence of Methamphetamine in the lives of several youth. The shorter 20 minute film, "Tweaked", the first in the series, presents the hopeless road to death and destruction that comes with Meth abuse. Designed for the classroom, or rehab center, it's a "Scared Straight" presentation which delivers a wake up call to the addict or potential user; "there is little room for escape".
"Tweaked: A Generation in Overdrive", part two of the series runs 50 minutes and includes all of the graphic sequences in part one plus a family of four girls who recovered from meth addiction. Both shows weave through intense and graphic interviews with: kids on the street in Venice Beach, California; a street wise narcotics officer; a drug abuse counselor; and two D.A.'s who reveal the grizzly aftermath of meth-induced crimes typical of those sweeping our country.
