Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director James F. Collier was primarily a documentary filmmaker; this was his rare narrative feature, shot in 1986 during Amsterdam's peak heroin crisis.
Part of a bizarre 1980s subgenre: 'Christian exploitation' films that used gritty realism to scare audiences toward salvation—think God's Not Dead but with actual drugs.
