A FILM depicting the devastating effect of mephedrone, or "miaow miaow", on Valleys communities had its world premiere at Brynmawr's Market Hall cinema tonight.
Starring well known faces Darren Evans, 24, who plays "Danny Two Hats" in My Mad Fat Diary and Newport's Gareth David Lloyd, who played Ianto in Torchwood, the film tells the story of a drug dealer who recruits a younger apprentice to push mephedrone, marketing at teenagers.
Directed by Welsh BAFTA winner Peter Watkins-Hughes, "The Good Drug Dealer" comes from research of real trends in Wales. It ends in tragedy as the drugs industry claims the lives of both its dealers. Mr Watkins-Hughes interviewed local dealers, drug users and drug workers before working on the hour long film, which will be available to schools as part of PSE lessons.
