A new documentary by director Jay Corcoran
“Cautionary...disturbing...remarkable candor. Jay Corcoran

painful and politically touchy aspects of gay male sexuality.”
Stephen Holden, New York Times
“startling...sobering look at Crystal Meth addiction.”
The Advocate
“Unflinchingly honest...” Orange County Blade

and relapse.” Metroweekly, DC
“Too alarming to be ignored.” Philadelphia City
Paper
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.
