[Fl...] Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have always said that if I ever regain my cognitive function I want to write a book, but seeing trailers like this give me inspiration to put my video production experience to work. I have always felt that no matter how many times I hear people talking about this there are fundamental points that are always missed. This documentary looks promising but I would love nothing more than to tell this story from my perspective some time in the not so distant future.

[Te...] Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 This made me cry because it's so clear, the suffering that goes on. Like one of the women interviewed, I also made the decision that I was willing to die getting off the drugs, that I refused to spend the rest of my life being controlled by them. I have a lot more faith now that stories are going to keep coming so often that benzo wd will no longer go unrecognized and swept under the rug. This gives me hope!! Thanks so much for the trailer, arcade!! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[La...] Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 This made me cry too. Thank you so much for posting this, arcade. I wonder why it won't be out for another year, though. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Sa...] Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This looks to be a very promising and insightful documentary ....it's about time! Thanks for the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Te...] Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I was wondering the same thing, Lapis. I wish it would come out this year, along with World Benzo Day. It would help put more validation on the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 There's a documentary film festival here called Hot Docs Canadian International Film Festival (April 28-May 8, 2016), and I'd love to see it as part of the program. Perhaps next year! The films get a good deal of media exposure, so it could really bring attention to the issue. http://www.hotdocs.ca/p/hot-docs-festival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mo...] Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I came across this too on Facebook. Most of my friends have shared to by now, even the ones who never took a benzo. They know how much we suffer. I'd say share as much as possible and ask your friends to do so too. It looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I've definitely been sharing it. Others find it powerful and moving too -- even if they haven't been through the ordeal. A film is a fantastic vehicle with which to educate others and spread the word, so I'm really hoping the filmmakers can complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
