Just say know: Part I
A highly engaging narrative from Tao Ruspoli about his family. These people have experienced addiction to various forms of substances, including heroin, cocaine and opium.
The old Prince Ruspoli is particularly interesting; he has smoked opium for many years in a finely crafted opium pipe, practising the full ritual with all of its art and culture, as opposed to to the industrialized poison of addiction (his terms for heroin, crack and tobacco). The film encourages some differentiated thinking in a field characterized by black and white generalizations.
