faced by today’s youth.

Entertainment EVP of distribution Jill Keenleyside says, “We
are so pleased to be able to distribute these informative
and edgy documentaries. Both films address extremely topical
subjects in society today that should be a part of a global
dialogue.”
Scathed
takes an in-depth look at crystal methamphetamine, the highly addictive narcotic
that has created a deadly epidemic among youth. The story is told by teenage users,
health-care workers, as well as police providing a harsh dose of reality that
will educate and inform.

York Independent Film Festival, the film looks to remind viewers
that all too often someone pays the ultimate price.
