14 DAY TRIAL // Though it's been nearly a decade since Darren Aronofsky's “Requiem for a Dream” came out, it remains to this day one of the most chilling portrayals of drug use in cinema. Meth Project is now using his experience for a series of new PSAs.
The organization, which aims to reduce first-time meth use, has turned to the Oscar-winning director (“Black Swan”) for some help for a new series of public service announcements.
The result is chilling. The four clips, “Desperate,” “Deep End,” “ER” and “Losing Control” show young meth users wondering how their lives might have turned had they bothered to ask and be informed about what meth does to the body.
To say that watching these videos sends a chill down one's spine is an understatement – clearly, Meth Project knew just the man they need to make their message loud and clear.
Vulture reports that the PSAs will air on TV. Given the implications of “Desperate” and the amount of blood shown in “Deep End,” chances are they will appear in a more toned down version.
While these videos are not unsuitable for work for the usual reasons, they do contain disturbing images *so discretion is heavily recommended when watching them.
Meth Project – “Deep End”
Meth Project – “ER”
Meth Project – “Losing Control”
