★★★★ · The drug riddled teens of Inglewood · Spuzz · 2016-01-18

More fun than usual from Sid Davis, as a portrait of a teenage drug addict is featured. The narrator, who is familiar to these films, is going on a mile a minute in this one, Plenty of information is shirked out in this story of a teenage girl going down that slippery slope. First it's pills, then marijuana, and then yes, heroin. Actually, I was surprised at the order of bad drugs this took. I think it SHOULD have been Marijuana, pills, and then heroin. But what do I now? Anyways, this is not bad, it's not something you've never seen before, but enjoyable nevertheless.
