American Meth (2008)
A mixture of Cops and Montana
I found this title on Hulu and not knowing much about meth and missing Val Kilmer, I decided to give it a try. It's not a documentary I can suggest for everyone, but there is definitely a crowd out there for it and for reasons that aren't portrayed in the description. Yes this is about meth, for the first half of the movie. The second half is a realistic view of what life is like struggling at the bottom. It's not pretty and it's cliché at times, but fascinating none the less. This isn't on par with a Ken Burns documentary or even anything made above the college level. But it has a deep realism to it that's lacking in today's society. It's almost sad that true reality is a thing to be appreciated, but in a culture made for ratings, it's something that comes as a surprise. This isn't really a surprise to everyone either, but it's an insight to the daily life of living in a trailer park or just the constant struggle to keep afloat that thousands of people go through every day.
