Smoke That Burns - The Crack epidemic in Switzerland poster

Smoke That Burns - The Crack epidemic in Switzerland 

A raw and necessary journey inside the reality of crack cocaine use in Switzerland, a growing phenomenon that - which started on the streets of America's great metropolises - is now taking root in Swiss urban centers as well. The documentary explores the cities of Lugano, Zurich, Lausanne, and Geneva, mapping a silent epidemic advancing among the margins of society. The film gives voice to social workers, street mediators, managers of “consumption rooms” and night shelters: professionals who, every day, face the reality of crack trying to reduce the damage, protect lives, and offer alternatives. Between direct testimonies, urban environments on the edge, and glimpses caught in the night, the documentary shows a hidden Switzerland, vulnerable, but also full of humanity and concrete attempts at change.

'A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night' Review: A Powerful (If Unintentional) Look At the Exploitation of Women

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, though its feminism may be unintentional, cannot exist without its focus on women reclaiming power. The movie is feminist by definition, even if Amirpour didn’t write it with that in mind. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is mesmerizing, poetic, and stunning, both for its portrayal of feminist ideas and its powerful story that is both horrific and subtly romantic at once.
