Overview of panel debate:
Ketamine is one of the most popular recreational drugs amongst under 24-year-olds in the UK*, but an increasing number of people are being treated for its damaging side effects on their bodies and minds.
In this documentary we see Stacey Dooley follow four rehab clients as they navigate treatment and work towards reconnecting with a life free from drugs. From owl sanctuaries and sound baths to unexpected relationships and moments of humour, she experiences a side of recovery rarely seen on screen.
Joining Stacey on the panel is Shooter Producer Director, Becky Southworth; Editor, Andrew Rushton and Kerrie Lang, who runs Acorn Recovery Projects. Our chair for the evening’s event is Rachel Smith - Co Executive Producer at THE GARDEN PRODUCTIONS LIMITED.
