Alcohol: Our Toxic Best Friend is a documentary I edited during my second year at university. This documentary, surprisingly is about alcohol and drinking culture in England. It is an expository documentary, where two people who have suffered from alcoholism, both first and second-hand, recount their stories and share how they were able to get help.
This was the first proper documentary I’ve edited, and tackling such a sensitive subject matter was going to be challenging. I wanted to do these people justice and stay true to them, they were very brave for participating in our documentary and I wanted to remain truthful and respectful throughout.
