Dutch Junkies unites two modern masters of the documentary film - Heddy Honigmann and John Appel - for a pair of stories of modern addiction. From Honigmann comes Emoticons, a portrait of three teenage girls in crisis who find comfort and community in internet chat rooms. Appel contributes There Goes My Heart, a chronicle of life in a home for elderly drug addicts. Together the films offer a compelling dialogue on addiction and community, and how our shared pain can both comfort and deceive us.
