r/Glasgow Tools

This Documentary was made a few months before I was born. It follows Chris, Ray, Ld and a few others. They're stories are that of an addicts. The man that created the documentary was previously a heroin user and was friends with Chris and Ray before he eventually became clean and moved to the highlands. He came back to Glasgow and gives us this footage. It's incredibly enthralling to me to see Glasgow and the subculture of people that occupied Glasgow (heroin addicts) they're lives are null and void without the substance they desire. So they steal from shops and make back little money on the goods that goes back on heroine. As the documentary progresses I can't help but relate to the lifestyle of an addict.

I feel sorry for them to tell the truth. They lie to themselves. Get fucked over by theyre dealers, fight with one and other, trundle through bins and try sell Barry manalow boxsets to make some cash. (I do not relate to that) ((getting fucked over by your dealer however...))

The documentary is only an hour long and I think people should know about this great work


I've been very keen on learning about Glasgow and Scotland as a whole, as I've discovered there's quite a mix of negative and positive subject matter to go off of. I hope other people will see the value of this and not dismiss it as west end gimps up to no good. These are real people. People with families. They're stories matter. For good or worse.
