Swansea Love Story
Swansea Love Story is the newest film from Vbs.tv which airs on the 12th February in six episodes. Produced and directed by Andy Capper, Vice’s UK editor and Leo Leigh, son of Mike Leigh, the film explores the currently under reported heroin epidemic facing South Wales. The film takes a closer look at a group of young addicts they met through the SANDS drugs agency. Swansea Love Story shows how love, unemployment and the breakdown of their families all add the problems faced by these young people.
Describing the film Andy Capper said: ‘We wanted to make this film because we were tired of seeing homeless young people being portrayed as little more than statistics. Documentaries about drug use often come out pious and fail to really get to know the people behind the drug usage. We wanted to show what it was like to live with an addiction as realistically as possible.’
