Beyond Heroin – a Story of Loss and Hope | a Big Picture Film by the Wellcome Trust
Beyond Heroin – A story of loss and hope | A Big Picture film by the Wellcome Trust – Nobody ever thinks they’ll become a drug addict – its something that happens to other people. In this extremely candid interview, Elizabeth Burton-Phillips, author of ‘Mum, can you lend me twenty quid?’, and her husband, Tony, speak openly about the gradual descent of their identical twin sons into the nightmare of heroin addiction. This film features clips from ‘Getting Hooked’, a home video in which one of the twins describes how easily he and his brother slipped into addiction. This film is just one part of the latest edition of Big Picture, featuring addiction. Published twice a year, Big Picture is a free post-16 resource for teachers that explores cutting edge science.
