The Egypt-based Addiction and Abuse Fund steps into the public with this sobering film about the consequences of drug addiction.

True Short Journeycreates an atmosphere of intensity from the start; a young man is strapped into a rollercoaster and holding on tight, hands clutching the railings. As the ride goes on, the young man starts to look tired, and then exhausted, and then totally worn out, bruised and hollow. The metaphor comes on strong, but it works. 

Produced in black and white, the direct, no-cut camera places a fervent emphasis on the power of a single choice. Ahmed Hussein was both the film director and creative director for True Short Journey, which was produced by Neo Productions.
