Graduation

Just graduated, on Monday actually. Feeling was nothing short of a massive anti-climax; and definitely not in the sense that I'm going to have a massive crisis whilst working in a bar through Winter yearning for a shit night out and some laughing gas. I guess I just kind of want to get on with things now, partly fueled by a burning innate desire to make fast money.

Anyway, talking of fast money, I've seen a couple of interesting things recently. First of all is 4od's feature documentary 'The Crack House.'




I don't know if normal people have been going on about it as much as students but it was a fascinating insight into an environment that, although many claim to know a lot about, it is largely unknown to those with no direct involvement in it. Centred on hidden surveillance cameras in a crack den in Rockford Illinois, the film chronicles a group of young men from Chicago's infamous South Side and their journey toward monopolisation of the drug trade there. Told through the eyes of the families of those responsible for the crime itself, it is a powerful yet realistically fair account of what is happening all over American neighborhoods everyday.

Unfortunately I can't embed it, but you can watch all of the documentary here on Youtube.
