Drug use among children under 14 is increasing at an alarming rate. DISPATCHES' research shows that drug use among pre-teenage and young teenage children is not confined to inner city areas, particular ethnic groups or 'problem' schools. This programme focuses on the experiences of Damien (13) and Ranjit (14), both drug addicts, and the problems such young people face since there is very little support for that group after the withdrawal of government funds in April 1993.

Those taking part include various 9 - 14 year-olds who are either users or dealers, Colin Cripps (Newham Youth Awareness project), Rita Funnell (parent of drug-taker), and Chief Supt. David Gilbertson (Notting Hill Police), Yvonne Bailey-Smith (Family Service Units).

Even in death, he stalks me Ando is a timid boy who suddenly finds himself accused by his gloomy classmate Arai of breaking a promise he didn't make. The next day, Ando goes to visit him. The next day, he is told by a visiting detective that Arai has committed suicide. From that day on, the supposedly dead Arai begins to disrupt Ando's life. In a series of well-crafted episodes, Ando shows us the two things that ordinary people fear the most: "being a bit strange" and "being rumoured to be a bit strange". However, the film's humour, which is on the edge of psycho, such as Arai's vivacity after his death, leaves a strange taste that straddles the line between funny and scary.

This socio-religious phenomenon remains unresolved to this day and manifests itself as a perpetual, underlying conflict.
