On the Glue
From the depths of London England’s Barracks district amongst the derelict weapons huts, comes a public service expose from the 1970s revealing “THE HORRORS” of kids participating in the act of glue sniffing. The narrative is told in three parts: The reporter, a mother and her “addict son” David. Seeking to reveal systemic problems and stereotypes of addiction and mental health the film and its title have been appropriated from an 1970s BBC expose. In making the film the filmmaker and footage were exposed to glue through sandwiching pieces of film together before ripping them apart.
