Chemsex
Breaking Glass PicturesThrough hidden basements, bedrooms and bars across London, Chemsex frankly and intimately exposes a dark side to modern gay life. Traversing an underworld of intravenous use and weekend-long sex parties, this stunning documentary tells the story of several men struggling to make it out of "the scene" alive - and one health worker who has made it his mission to save them. While society looks the other way, this powerful and unflinching film uncovers a group of men battling HIV and addiction while trying to find acceptance in a changing world.
