Can you post a bit more info than just a link? Perhaps what the show is called and a short description? If anyone's really ambitious there are plenty of HR-related media links in our archives going back some way we'd love to have collated in a single thread :)
 
I Will keep eye out for any docos of interest to you all ..

the only thing to keep eye out for is the so called 60 minutes segment that we had kate a producer from 60 mins asking for people to talk to.
 
Yeah to be honest i like Kingpins work. Its good how theres a description about the documentary, pics and a link. These docus seems really interesting.
 
No idea what happened to the 60 minutes story i know it changed producers and there was supposed to be so interviews with parents of dead teenagers who think harm reduction is the way to go i will email her.
 
This is an oldie. It has several people you might know, including several old skool Blers. There's a bit on RaveSafe and a segment where JB does a mock test

Beneath the Mirror Ball

Every week around 100,000 young Australians head out to raves and dance clubs — marathon parties driven by the incessant beat of electronic dance music.

The rest of the community, more familiar with pub culture and live bands, wonders: what’s the attraction? What’s to like about a scene dominated by a monotonous “dooph dooph dooph” thumping out of samplers, synthesisers and drum machines?

Plenty, say the devotees. And anyone open minded enough and willing enough to explore the dance scene will discover an extraordinarily rich vein of sub-culture.

Four Corners has spent the past two months delving into dance culture to meet a generation defined by its own music, politics, technologies and its own drugs. The program traces dance culture as the latest in a line of youth movements, borrowing from, but different to, hippie culture of the ‘60s and punk of the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Producer Lin Buckfield’s program explores and reflects emerging sub-cultures to the wider community. Dance-scene participants say it’s all about equality:

* “It’s totally pro-diversity.”
* “We want to be in a group of people that want to love each other…We are all sort of wanting that sort of connection with the rest of the world but it just doesn’t happen because the world is pretty hard.”
* “The greatest thing is a sense of living for the moment. As humans we’re normally not very good at that.”

The ravers’ unifying motto is PLUR — peace, love, unity and respect. But they’re no bland homogenous force. There are subtle but important distinctions in the styles of music and these distinctions often define which sub-faction a person identifies with.

For some, it is mostly a matter of having fun. At the other end of the spectrum the music is an anthem to anti-materialist, anti-globalisation politics.

Now corporations have begun marketing to this new expression of youth culture. The result is that some dance culture is being dragged into the mainstream, to the scorn of anarchic underground groups.

Lin Buckfield looks at the role of ecstasy and the dilemma it presents for law enforcement and public health. Unlike alcohol, which fuels violence in pubs and clubs, ecstasy produces waves of warmth and good feeling. But it’s believed to be potentially harmful to users in the medium and long terms.

BTMB part 1/5
 
Another one that has been mentioned here before...

Attack of the Happy People

From our very own National Library of Australia

"Ecstasy, which started out as a psychotherapeutic drug, has now become one of the most consumed recreational drugs around. This film by Nadav Harel documents the flourishing ecstasy party culture in Israel today. Navel says that Israel has one of the world's highest drug consumption rates. Affected by wars, an aggressive marketplace economy and very powerful religious forces, young people in Israel escape their harsh reality through excessive drug consumption. Ecstasy is particularly widespread. Many of the young Israelis interviewed for this documentary refer to it as “the drug of love” and say that when you're on it “everything becomes rosy; you're in a fantasy world; you love everyone you see...” This program features experts who believe in the therapeutic uses of the drug and also opponents of the drug who believe ecstasy use characterises our consumer-driven society, as many products such as music, clothes, dance parties and so on are being promoted through this drug trend.

Attack of the Happy People 1/6


Seeing as this is thread is to be expanded to include docos, films etc from around the globe, if you haven't seen this one before, I'd suggest trying to watch it through to the end. Be warned, it's quite unsettling in places.

SMALL TOWN ECSTASY

When a middle-aged married couple decided to get a divorce, their four adolescent children thought things couldn't possibly get worse, until their father began taking the "club drug" Ecstasy. This documentary provides a first-hand account of Ecstasy's pervasive influence on a middle-class family that had seemed to have the perfect life. Filmed over the course of two years, the film explores the troubles of 40-year-old Scott, a strait-laced dad whose rapid descent into addiction leads him to bring his children to drug-fueled raves and parties -- while subtly encouraging them to join in.

STE 1/5
 
Thanks for all the input guys. Good work. Im still half way through the Ice docu. Its always interesting to watch these things, it really does make u think a bit which is what we all need to learn a bit from them or learn a bit of common sense.
 
heh, just watched beneath the mirror ball, love how a couple of times through the show they are saying how people are realising the war on drugs is a joke and going no where and the situation is going to improve and the law will loosen up..

8 years later .....
