“Cautionary…disturbing…remarkable candor.
Jay Corcoran has never shied away from painful
and politically touchy aspects of gay male sexuality.”
GAY MEN AND METH
ROCK BOTTOM follows the journeys of
seven gay men struggling with meth addiction
and recovery against a backdrop of an emerging
second wave of HIV infection. From grappling
with the drug’s effects on their physical and
mental health to wrestling with their darkest
sexual desires, ROCK BOTTOM delivers a
chilling portrait of a community in crisis. With
an unflinching eye the film captures their
stories over a two-year period, from sex clubs
a film by Jay Corcoran
61 minutes, Color, USA, 2006
to hospitals to family gatherings. It takes
enormous courage to face these demons, and
even more to allow the world to watch. For
anyone struggling with meth addiction, or
anyone trying to help someone in trouble,
ROCK BOTTOM will offer hope that change
can happen, and insight into how change
begins. For anyone thinking they can play with
meth and not get caught up, the film will be a
cautionary tale of how wrong they might be.
