In an apartment above Fifth Avenue, some thirty young people live in a vortex of drug addiction and despair. In The Ninth Floor, Jessica Dimmock enters this world, exploring, in human terms, what has been lost and what may be recovered. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/the-ninth-floor
This video is about drug abuse and how it really affected the lives of the couple that lived on that ninth floor. On that floor, drugs were dealt and done like crazy. Nobody had self control, and the couple, Dionn and Rachel, were big fans of it. They were addicts and the drugs affected their relationship in a very negative way. They would get into physical fights and then out of nowhere they would make up. They would have sex and do drugs at the same time, which in life is not healthy. Rachel ended up in and out of the hospital, and also pregnant. The baby could have some serious damage because of the drug abuse so they kept her for observation. The lesson of this story is that drugs can have a very negative impact in your life. In the long run, it can ruin your health, and ruin who you are emotionally. The music to this film is very slow and full of emotion even though it has no words. It allows people to connect to their emotion through music. The pictures in this film, are the bad habits that they're doing for example doing drugs while having sex. It shows us that their addiction is something to take seriously. The interviews was mostly Rachel and her boyfriend talking about their experiences and how bad the drugs affected them.
