Dope Is Death recounts the unexpected connection between acupuncture, the Young Lords and the Black Panther movement. A movie from Director Mia Donovan which seek to ask us how does self-care and pride in one’s community play a role in grassroots activism. As well as how can we understand the mechanisms of drug addiction and the role of mental health support as a tool to overcome oppression.
Once a selection from Patta Meets IDFA, we are now hosting the film again thanks to VICE News.
