Poor Man's Dope

About This Movie

So, 'Poor Man's Dope' dives deep into the grim realities of the meth crisis in the Midwest. It's raw, you know? The pacing is a bit slow at times, but that kind of adds to the heaviness of the subject. The documentary style lets you feel the weight of the stories being told, capturing the lives torn apart by addiction. There's a certain starkness to the cinematography that really emphasizes the starkness of rural America. And the interviews? Gut-wrenching. The performances—if you can call them that—are from real people, and that authenticity hits hard. It's not glamorous, it's just real, which makes it stand out in a sea of more polished narratives about addiction.
