Seattle is Dying – The Addiction & Homelessness Crisis
Categories

Addiction & Homeless Crisis – Seattle is Dying

This documentary details the addiction and the homeless crisis in Seattle. This story is about a seething, simmering anger that is now boiling over into outrage. It is about people who have felt compassion, yes, but who no longer feel safe, no longer feel like they are heard, no longer feel protected. It is about lost souls who wander our streets untethered to home or family or reality, chasing a drug which, in turn, chases them. It is about the damage they inflict on themselves, but also on the fabric of this place where we life. This story is about a beautiful jewel that has been violated and a crisis of faith amongst a generation of Seattleites falling out of love with their home. There is another part of this story too – it’s about a solution, an idea, for a city that has run out of them, and I ask again, what if Seattle is dying and we don’t even know it?

Alcohol at Home – Britain’s Secret Drinkers

It is commonly believed that binge drinking culture in Britain is their most serious drinking problem. However, experts in this short video, featured on the BBC programme ‘Tonight’, discuss a different concern – at home drinkers. According to a study discussed in the video, more and more people are regularly drinking alcohol at home, sometimes every night of the week. For some, it’s seen as a reward after a long day at work, and for others, it’s a way of relaxing. Unfortunately, many people appear unaware of the consequences of such behaviour.
