Raw, intimate and often deeply unsettling,
ROCK BOTTOM offers more than just an exposé of the ongoing
crystal meth crisis within gay communities in the US. Working closely
with seven gay men who have been struggling with meth addiction
in different ways, Jay Corcoran has produced a groundbreaking work
that reveals the multiple and complex layers of personal and collective
trauma which haunt contemporary gay male identity: loss, survival,
guilt, fear, depression and addiction. This powerful documentary
provokes many urgent and important questions about how to support
and sustain gay men's health at the beginning of the 21st century.
ROCK BOTTOM needs to be seen, but above it all, it demands to be
discussed. Roger Hallas, Author of Reframing Bodies: AIDS, Bearing
Witness and the Queer Moving Image (forthcoming).
