From the director of Life
and Death on the A-List and Undetectable,
Jay Corcoran’s latest film, ROCK BOTTOM: GAY MEN AND
METH, focuses on the scourge of crystal methamphetamine
in the gay community over a two-year period. It is the third installment
in a trilogy of films documenting thirteen years of the AIDS epidemic
in America.
ROCK BOTTOM follows the journeys of seven gay
men struggling with meth addiction and recovery against a backdrop
of an emerging second wave of HIV infection. From grappling with
the drug’s effects on their physical and mental health to
wrestling with their darkest sexual desires, ROCK BOTTOM
delivers a chilling portrait of a community in crisis. With an unflinching
eye the film captures their stories over a two-year period, from
sex clubs to hospitals to family gatherings. It takes enormous courage
to face these demons, and even more to allow the world to watch.
DVD STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 8, 2008
