I love this guy and he makes genuinly great documentries. An all at once touching yet scary portrail on Meth use in the U.S. Loved the old weird weekends stuff though, especially the crazy new world order survivalist people. We need more good journalism like Therouxs!

His father was a far better storyteller, IMO.

I'm usually quite broad-minded, but I don't really fancy trying that crystal meth.

Watched it on iPlayer, pretty scary stuff. I have no concept of what's going on in that kind of community, but feel lucky I'm not a part of it. I found the most interesting part to be the final section with the drug councillor. She agreed with him straight away that meth was peoples way of self medication to distance themselves from a pretty ****ed up environment. But then she chose to focus on all of the evils of the drug, rather than what was pushing people towards it in the first place.
