- All too often, middle class society in America has looked at drug abuse as a problem of the inner city, an epidemic ravaging the poor and destitute of the mean streets in urban jungles. This documentary is a powerful and provocative look at the other side of the devastating drug problem in America, a look into the heart of middle class suburbia, whose well kept lawns and neatly painted homes facing tree-lined cul-de-sacs reveal a scourge as terrible as that found in any rat infested, crack house on the east side, that of suburban drug abuse. Acclaimed 18-year old filmmaker, Shane Salerno, brought together eight white upper-middle class teens to share their true stories of drug abuse and witnessing and living the deadly results. Eight affluent teenagers from the "best" schools, whose parents have the "best" jobs, eight drug dealers and addicts tell their painful, tragic stories in their own words. this documentary is important for everyone. Its tales are disturbing and unsettling. It shatters the fatal misconception that drug abuse is a ghetto problem.—Anonymous
