Use Once and Destroy

Sketches about three heroin addicts in Montreal by ex-junkie filmmaker John L’Ecuyer. A stream-of-consciousness narration sails the viewer through Montreal’s underworld of characters: Red Theo, a dealer that treats his clients like family despite all the difficulties inherent in such a lifestyle; Nice Guy Nelson, a heroin addict that sought escape from reality by any means necessary, including auto-mutilation; and Brenda, a young woman at one time loved life but fell into the netherworld of heroin addiction, prostitution and AIDS.
