Under literally every Vice video is the comment “Great content! This is how Vice used to be!” Maybe Vice is just actually good again now and has been for a while?
You are watching a piece that is six days old. This level and style has never stopped. So what exactly is your point besides that your perception is not reality?
Journalism like this reminds me of the old VICE. This is great work. This is what VICE should be, shining bright spotlights on normal people's lives and circumstances.
Whenever I read people saying "old vice" I think they're hiding their support for Trump. Trump supporters get immediately triggered when they investigate the far right and say "bankrupt" or "old vice." It's as if they get defensive when their group is obviously associated with other criminal organizations. By the way, trump is going to prison.
Nowadays good notice after COVID-19 journalism is 9/10 times just following the script given by governments so without any research they push it to the public. Many journalists has sold their souls to the devil. News from those who think or even prove otherwise the government wants us to believe are been shut down, imprisoned or .......
Another banger from vice. Im a recovering heroin addict, never shot in my neck. But god damn, I've seen people do it many times in real life, and seeing these women doing it made me feel instant nausea. Its a trigger, but it sickens me at the same time. I hope everyone in these photos who didn't pass can find some help and peace.
And here i was thinking… dang i wish they would’ve made us do athletic stuff when they all lined up. Would’ve definitely helped than just sitting around in jail/rehab
I always maintained a vigorous workout routine, during my times in jail. Too much downtime to just sit and do nothing. Though I do agree, a more structured and enforced workout routine would be helpful in our county jails. If implemented right, it could serve as therapy, and also could maintain physical health. Our jails are based on the idea of punishment, and not rehabilitation. We need to re-gear them for rehabilitation instead. @@maria89479
Yeah, good call not doing it. Recovering here as well, I've done it a few times, and the last I missed, got an abscess, and had to have emergency surgery where they had to suture my external jugular vein shut. Left a pretty huge, badass scar, but its a miracle I'm alive. Glad you are too Bakenbeans, stay up 👆
Lmfao, they're junkies. You don't know enough if some you never met make you feel something. It's your lack of experience, not theirs that makes this story.
An actual description of the situation instead of a just a vague, leading, click bait title gives "so much more depth and meaning"? Brilliant observation.... /s
To be clear to the people who say this is the vice we need: this isn't one of Vice's journalists. They are only interviewing her. They've done this with other photo journalists in the past.
I once worked at a Doctor’s office who used to inject one of his regular patients with pain meds into her neck. She took that large gauge needle like it was nothing. A few years later, that doctor lost his medical license for all kinds of shady stuff.
exactly.@@LightsaberGoBrrrrrr at least there she will have help if there's an emergency. Risk Reduction should be the goal...not abstinence...meet people where they are.
Was this a pain clinic?? I've heard they do stuff like this also.Plus pain clinics want to do the most painful stuff to their patients in house (office). My Dr had referred me to one about 15 years ago,I went one day sat and watched all the junkies walk in and out, I was shocked and I never went back, told my PCP what it was like and that they don't take insurance, what Dr office don't take insurance and want you to pay cash, he was shocked at what I said, and I told him I'm not going back so we gonna have to figure something out here.But a few years ago they got shut down and alot of doctors got in trouble
Yes, doctors can definitely be shady sometimes. I know some people are getting sublocade which is an injection of a potent synthetic opioid for addiction which has seen success in the recent years. Big pharma is making bank off of people that are on it.
Before i found out about needle exchange I only had 27 gauge which are thick and long and I used those to hit v3ins on my hands and feet. Those veins didn't last
I can appreciate stories like these that help shed light on narco terrorism and unnecessary killings by these drug cartels. Addiction doesn’t discriminate and economic inequality and instability don’t make things any easier for these people and babies that are born neurodivergent.
@TheHare-rv3hjThere you go. Best wishes my friend! How long does it take before people realize this? "I had no money, so I became an addict. I had so much money, so I became an addict. My parents didn't love me, so I became an addict. My parents smothered me, so I became an addict. I had no friends, so I became an addict. I had too many friends pulling me different ways, so I became an addict... " How about: I'm human, and this existential quandary results in one being an addict or not (drugs) - but drugs aside everyone is some type of addict. What would you prefer to be addicted to?
This is actually just an interview with a photo journalist. Vice does this from time to time. It's not their journalism, it's literally just an interview.
Remember that Vice was about to fold and a certain organization owned by a nefarious individual, (Rimes with Matamoros.) purchased them so not close shop. Their reports are heavily bases on an agenda. For example, the one about Guatemala is to push an idea that the migrants crossing the U.S. border are "escaping a war" and not the economic migrants that they really are.
I'm watching this in a waiting room awaiting to be intaked to a drug rehabilitation center in the US. I am so grateful I was not born somewhere else. I could not imagine being an addict in a rough country
There's a whole walled off city in Tehran with 10000+ opiate addicts. Iran is on the western edge of the Golden Crescent, and is prolly the biggest trafficking route from Asia to Europe, so there's no shortage of the drugs, it's fresh points and clean work that's impossible to find. Good luck & Godspeed on your recovery!
I remember sitting in the waiting room with my daughter who no longer knew her name nor had any idea who I was, puking in a trash can. Today, she's a single mother of two, clean and sober, in the same job for 6 years, off the streets, in a home of her own. It wasn't an easy journey. She was high, but I was fully conscious, seeing her skate past horrific catastrophes time after time, Good Samaritans helping her find her car after she would go downtown to get high. Now she's a supervisor at work and a lead volunteer on tech at church. I ended up with PTSD and can barely drive since I saw it all while she was tripped out. I'm so grateful she's alive and her children are safe that I never bring up what I live with every day as a result of that time.
Photography can be one of the most POWERFUL ways of expression. Everyone sees a picture differently, everyone captures moments differently. There is no right or wrong way to take a picture. They are able to evoke memories every time you look at the picture you can be transported back to that place in time when it was taken. For me photography is it's own language...What would the world be without pictures!? ✌
You don't have to travel the world to find calamities with people. Here in the US you'll find more crime in all levels of society starting with government officials, drug addiction, homeless people etc...
Exactly, but many people like to feel superior by pretending to care and help when in reality they’re just distracting themselves and us from our own problems.😢
What I find fascinating is that public displays of emotion are highly culture bound. Back 600 years ago in England, it was standard for grieving people to claw their face until they drew blood. That would cause someone to be sectioned under the mental health act today.
Back in the day!? when diseases ran rampant, and nothing was properly sanitary? Sounds like they would soon be the ones in the coffin after that stunt.
Just like drug use in America except we have fentanyl instead and our are dropping like flies! Its so sad to see the world has a terrible drug problem,your photos are a documentary of today's world well done young lady!
They don't want ppl to know & all these Ppl believe that "Rehab" doesn't have a 97% FAILURE rate w in 3 yrs!! NO it isn't those who Really want to quit that DO... The "program" IS SST up to be a High paid industry that NEEDS REPEAT BIZ to keep it Afloat! The Revolving "once an Addict always an addict" & other Lies that Blame the Sick- unlike other illnesses -if a Cancer patient-doesnt get "cured" they don't blame them! But Rehab & also some of the well paid Non profit Orgs Wldnt survive if all those ppl were PREVENTED & Cured (Yes there Are Permenant cures- but they are costly & spell the End for the Rehab & other systems dependent on their supply of addicts. All They Teach is Abstinance- no wonder w telling them they will also NEVER not be an addict- which of course they Can reverse their Addictive Personality (Wholeheartedly recommend this Book & at least 9 mos of help dep on how long they've been addicted- but correct Knowledge & reversal of no addictive personality- Live like did B4 were addicted. Some it's very young but it's not a normal "state" & unlearning it & then applying it & treating the low Dopamine levels left with & other depleted health issues Mental & physical- can be 100% cured. But we're would the whole industry created for addiction "Treatment," go if this really happened? Why do Social workers have to do 6 yrs of College to help addicts-esp when they've never been an addict? Think Abt this & also look into the Truth Abt Psychiatric Drugs at DrBreggin.com to see how they also create a need for opiate use w the damage esp to the Dopamine system etc & the Lies of them exposed!! Also Y.T documentaries Abt the Psych system & MEDS! Creating mental illness to Treat it....
exercise is the free way to get the “feel good”, natural chemicals in your body kicking. Exercise, green tea, oatmeal and yogurt. That’s what facilitated kicking cold turkey (heroin). In with the good, out with the bad.
I lived and taught English in Vietnam for a bit, and travelled around Cambodia and other countries in the region. The exercises like this were pretty common, especially in schools at breaktime (i used to join in with the kids and other teachers every breaktime), and i remember seeing it being done in government offices and places like that too, so in the photo i don't think it is something they were doing specifically for drug treatment, rather a cultural phenomenon, but i guess it wouldn't do drug addicts harm either, help give them a routine and something healthy to do. But yeah, i also found it confusing in the beginning, i can only imagine how an addict in withdrawal would be feeling!
Very beautiful work... just wanted to add a smile to anyone who reads this my mom was a "photographer" she spent a good 30 minutes explaining to me such an in depth explanation about the beauty and symbolization in this one photo she took and how it made her feel and oh man! Right?....it was a photo of the sidewalk with a patch of grass.. I wish i had the ability to see things like that ☺️.
I really appreciate Lianne Milton's purpose of doing all this. It's truly eye-opening that the first goal out of uncovering such news is to show create empathy first.
Too bad the title is to vague and click baity to give enough information (or even the appearance of integrity or clarity) for the video to to be watched by as many people as it (seemingly) should. I refuse to watch this because of it. My limit for vague, click baity, sensationalist titles/headlines was exceeded years and years ago, it has helped lead society to the crisis we are in today, and I refuse to support it ever again....
Just go down town in your own neighborhood and you’ll see drug addiction just as bad. Every country is in a fight against drug addiction. Western countries treat addicts the same. Jail, homelessness, it’s the same everywhere.
Jesus, Guatemala sounds absolutely terrifying! Our drug problem here in America is just as bad tho. As a recovering addict myself who lives close to a well known major problem for fentanyl, it’s crazy when you actually see a real life zombieland. Like hundreds of people just zombified walkin around, syringes everywhere, people shooting up right in front of patrolling police! And it’s so bad, the cops don’t even do anything anymore. They just try and contain it to that area smh it’s a wild sight. I was fortunately never on the streets in my addiction, and usually didn’t go around that area. I had been using for about 3 yrs before I even went and checked it out for myself and even as an addict I was blown away. Like blown AWAY. I actually cried driving thru there. Smh
As a recovering drug addict myself, I am on the methadone program. Is there programs like that in America? It has saved me and I have been clean from using illegal drugs for 9 years now. It also helped that I destroyed most to all of my veins. But I just wanted to say that I hope you can get some help. Switching from one addiction to another is a way of getting away from the worst drugs. Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
@@kerrynicholls6683 aww thank you! I should have included in my post that I am actually clean! I’ve been clean for a little over 5 years! I still consider myself an addict tho. You’ll always be an addict, you just have it in control now Yano. And I did get my life together thanks to the methadone maintenance program! Thank god for it frfr! Saved my life! I’m actually totally clean now, not on anything but the occasional drink and toke off a joint if someone has it lol but I’m so super blessed for the life I hve now! God gave me a second chance at redemption and man I appreciate every second of every day of it!
4:32 That's America, right? That is exactly what we do in America. The 3rd World way of handling drug addiction is the American Way. We're not superior to Cambodia 🙄
She says she wants to spread empathy and understanding. It starts at home, right here in America. This is weird to me that people refuse to acknowledge the poverty here. Looks just like that in many places here.
The fact that we get free videos from VICE News on TH-cam is priceless, keeping the education and knowledge alive. 🙏🙏🙏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
When I was much younger I knew of a man who lost his "member" to gangrene after he injected it with heroin. It wasn't even uncommon in my City when I was a kid. Now the same thing is happening just with different drugs. It makes me so sad.
Sorry, I meant to ask which city you are from, but then I looked at your name! Are you from Ireland? I’m from the North, but I have been living in Australia for the last 14 years. 🤗🙏🏼🌸
It was a very common practice in the Northeastern State of Manipur in India in the late 1980s to mid 1990. The shot heroin in the viens under their tongues too. This was to hide the track marks.
She talks like this poverty and neglect doesn't happen in America. It's rampant, didn't even have to go there to tape this. Show what goes on here so we can have empathy and understanding here at home. We need it real bad.
"Show what goes on here so we can have empathy and understanding here at home." “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” - John Kenneth Galbraith
addiction is terrible but the addicts are not monster there people like you and me they just need care and help to get back the life that drugs have stolen from them i hope they get well and live happy full lives with love and happiness maybe they can find a lover to heal the loneliness everyone deserves love and to be cared about that is true vice good to see your back helping the ignored and abandoned thank you.
What an incredible woman. Her photos are landmarks of these events - especially when she explains them. The family around the car and the photo of women shooting up through veins in their necks are devastating. To be so dependent on drugs just to try and stay alive shot to shot is depicted in the photo better than any other photo I’ve ever seen. Losing a loved person so quickly and in such a terrible way is shown brilliantly in that first photo. Devastation of their very souls is caught in this shot. if we are really aware, we see so, so many of the world’s people losing the battle. The governments in reality do much too little or nothing. It’s very depressing and hard on your mind and body to be surrounded by tragedy so much. I do hope reporters and image takers constantly involved at this level of despair, take care of themselves, as this work is very emotionally involving. Thank you for your awareness and letting the world know about these atrocities. 🥀💥 I do wish “Joy to the world. Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea. Joy to you and me.” 🌷🌱
Did you hear the part where one mechanic shot another mechanic because of competition? Most people are struggling to survive in that environment. The funeral directors are just doing what they need to do to survive. Holding back means losing possible income. It may appear repulsive to us, but don't judge until you've been in their shoes.
Still a little repulsive to approach a grieving family who just discovered their relative is dead. Unfortunately, it's a terrible situation for most of them (no pity for the killer and narcos), but I doubt even Guatemalans are ready to discuss burying their relatives after discovering they passed.
@@becsterino the grieving family is Gonna need help tho with the body and funeral arrangements, it makes it easier for them so they don't have to go out and call one later

Wait until they have no veins, they don’t regenerate. As a recovering drug addict on the methadone program, not having veins really helped me to stop taking illegal drugs. I have been clean for 9 years now. It’s a big problem when my doctor wants me to do blood tests, the last time it took 2 hours and they finally got one on my foot, which isn’t there anymore. It collapsed after they used it. Not looking forward to having more blood tests. But the doctor needs them at times, I guess. Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
@@Ashleyofthewolves Even been in your fingers, palm, feet on top or underneath? Your neck, chest, boobs and shoulders? If not, then u have veins. If you have, welcome 🤗 to the club. It's a sucky club, but a club none the less. Love 😘 from Australia 🦘
I am so sad Vice news is going out of business when they are giving us and showing us what is really happening around the world. All these journalists losing their jobs😢😢😢. My heart goes to them!
I remember a time when we saw more footage and details about the topic then the person covering the topic. Why do these new "Journalist" have the need to compete with the story? She appears on screen almost as much or more than the story and footage...jeez.
God the amount of pain in the world is just… We like to say mockingly that school doesn’t prepare us for the real world. Usually we’re thinking of money, or cooking, or whatever. But really, what school doesn’t prepare us for is the pain. We grow up seeing horror movies and being scared of them, but at some point you pass that amount of horror, and it just keeps piling on. It’s honestly astonishing.
One important thing the photographer didn’t mention is that there are a LOT of babies born in S.America, especially Brazil born with Microcephaly because of Zika virus. If a mother is infected during pregnancy the chance of the baby having microcephaly go up drastically. The mosquito species that carry zika and other diseases love urban environments and thrive in poor neighborhoods where there’s standing water in things like rooftop water basins, old tires, trash. Poor women and their babies living in low income areas are badly affected by zika and thus, microcephaly, because of this.
Zika is a engineered bioweapon that was tested out on them. The genome of zika isnt natural you can see it was spliced together. Like lime disease was a bioweapon to use against soldiers in the field. Released from plum island to infect americans to see what happens. Govts have done numerous biological radiological tests on its citizens.
She didn't have to go all the way there to film that. There are places in America like that. I used to walk by people with blood oozing out of them who were shot or cut, to get sugar at the store for my mother when I was 14. (lots of time!) At 15 I worked 3 short blocks to my part time job at a city rec and would with-in that walk see people fighting and pulling knives on each other just about everyday. When I got to the rec/gym, I would have to call the cops about 3 times with-in the 4 hours I worked there on 7 to 10 year olds and that was in the 70's. For fun I would go two blacks from my mom's house when I was 14 to watch the heroin addicts walk down the street to one of the local drug dealers houses to buy drugs. I was amazed how they could bend all the way backwards and pop up and bend forwards to the ground and never fall. If they owed the drug dealer money and did not pay, it became baseball time. There was no gun fire back then so today it is much worst. In the 80s and 90s the funeral homes could not find space for the bodies of kids 13 to 17 shot selling drugs by rivals or small kids shot because they were playing in the yard. Skip to 2023.....My lord. Certainly, if you look for it, you don't have to go far or look hard to find things like this. But to those who have never seen anything before or been around it. They are amazed. God bless the child who has to walk by it.
Wow, The Photo With The Paramedic's Fingers inside The Body of The Gunshot Victim Preventing Him From Bleeding Out. Later To Find out He Bled Out at The Hospital is Some Powerful Stuff and That Photo Caught it. 🤯
She didn't say anything enlightening about any of the instances she photographed. IDK why people in the comments are saying this is good journalism-- she gave us 0 context to the violence in Guatemala or the babies in Brazil and seemed to not even know what was happening in the Cambodian drug rehabilitation center. Terrible video.
Sophia was on the channel SBSK. i am so sorry this sweet baby and her family had to deal with this. I have 2 toddlers with autism. The one "looks normal" until hes throwing a tantrum and the other, you can clearly see he is special. I often worry about the hate they will have to endure but i have to remember this familys strength and courage because they have definitely gone thru it. 😢 it was sad to see she passed ❤
There’s nothing new with that. Many fenty users in the US use the same neck injection methods. I personally think that along with the tainted pills (pills cut with many different drugs) is the main cause of so many drug deaths these days.
Man this hurts to watch I wish everyone would just walk in Love we could all help each other so much if we only did what JESUS said to Love our Neighbor as ourselves man what a world that would be.
Ask those people how they feel about how we should all go green for the climate. So funny how the people in this country protest about things so insignificant. People are just trying to live to get to see the next day.
😢 I think about all these people everywhere suffering and remember there are others who want them to because they crave control and to give pain. It's truly a world not worth staying in
Don't even start by comparing anyone being like Jesus on the cross. That was one of the most disgusting and despicable remarks I have heard in a while and borderline blasphemous.
I know why. It’s because they make you feel good, but then you get stuck in addiction and it takes more and more drugs to get the same results. As a recovering drug addict, I was groomed on morphine by my rapist, and he got away with it, because the police didn’t want to do their jobs. Anyway I am on the methadone program now, and it’s helped me stay clean for 9 years now. I hope America has such programs to help people, but I doubt it considering that would mean they would be giving something away for free. Which I hear isn’t something that happens in America. I’m sorry for the people of America. Things aren’t going to get better if big companies continue to make the laws, instead of doing what is best for the people. Sad 😢 Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
She seems more confused than anything, like she doesn't understand why or how these things happen, or the slightest idea how to stop them, naive. Like, daily exercise is healthy and it adds structure to a person's life, which helps them recover from addiction. So, putting them into a facility that removes drugs and adds structure to their lives, which they clearly didn't have before, will help them. She clearly doesn't understand the reality that which such drugs, they are in charge of your life, not you. So, you need to remove the drug and put someone else in charge of your life until you're strong enough to be on your own, obviously. Even then, people will relapse, because not everyone is capable of being in charge of their own lives.
"she doesn't understand why or how these things happen, or the slightest idea how to stop them, naive." And your suggestion of "daily exercise" and incarceration, and constant supervision/blind obedience is "reasonable" and "helpful"? Really? Truly spoken like someone who has never even met an addict... "naive" Ad hominem attacks are fallacious arguments frequently used as a defence mechanism by people too wilfully ignorant to know that they are falling victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect or too illiberal and arrogant to even try to understand new information if it could possibly challenge their narrative, no matter how verifiable the facts actually are. It's such an obvious thought ending cliché. Would it be so difficult for you to use skepticism to determine what verifiable facts contradict your assertion as well as those that support it so that you could then use logical reasoning to come to a rational, justifiable conclusion instead of just asserting what your "feelz" or the hate mongers keep telling you "must" be "common sense" that so very conveniently happens to support your narrative?

How about: I'm human, and this existential quandary results in one being an addict or not (drugs) - but drugs aside everyone is some type of addict. What would you prefer to be addicted to?
THANK YOU! I'd make one exception, and that is the babies born addicted because their selfish, evil mothers did it to them. @TheHare-rv3hj
@TheHare-rv3hj Better than many things, but also worse than more.
This is the vice that we need, keep it up. There’s so little on the ground quality journalism that really just gets to the point and informs.
This is actually just an interview with a photo journalist. Vice does this from time to time. It's not their journalism, it's literally just an interview.
Remember that Vice was about to fold and a certain organization owned by a nefarious individual, (Rimes with Matamoros.) purchased them so not close shop. Their reports are heavily bases on an agenda. For example, the one about Guatemala is to push an idea that the migrants crossing the U.S. border are "escaping a war" and not the economic migrants that they really are.
@@nate6045that's probably why it's better than usual, vice likes to push there opinions more than giving us unbiased journalism.

OMG news network w/ James O'Keefe 💪🏻
I'm watching this in a waiting room awaiting to be intaked to a drug rehabilitation center in the US. I am so grateful I was not born somewhere else. I could not imagine being an addict in a rough country
Stick to it..much better than county lock up. Drink a lot of juice and water eat as much fruit as you can try not to smoke too much.
There's a whole walled off city in Tehran with 10000+ opiate addicts. Iran is on the western edge of the Golden Crescent, and is prolly the biggest trafficking route from Asia to Europe, so there's no shortage of the drugs, it's fresh points and clean work that's impossible to find. Good luck & Godspeed on your recovery!
💪
I remember sitting in the waiting room with my daughter who no longer knew her name nor had any idea who I was, puking in a trash can. Today, she's a single mother of two, clean and sober, in the same job for 6 years, off the streets, in a home of her own. It wasn't an easy journey. She was high, but I was fully conscious, seeing her skate past horrific catastrophes time after time, Good Samaritans helping her find her car after she would go downtown to get high.
Now she's a supervisor at work and a lead volunteer on tech at church.
I ended up with PTSD and can barely drive since I saw it all while she was tripped out.
I'm so grateful she's alive and her children are safe that I never bring up what I live with every day as a result of that time.
Good luck I'm wishing you all the best from the UK
Thank you for not censoring images. This drives home the horrors of reality and is a huge no-no to imitate. Great work.
Photography can be one of the most POWERFUL ways of expression. Everyone sees a picture differently, everyone captures moments differently. There is no right or wrong way to take a picture. They are able to evoke memories every time you look at the picture you can be transported back to that place in time when it was taken. For me photography is it's own language...What would the world be without pictures!? ✌
What was the world before photography ?

You don't have to travel the world to find calamities with people. Here in the US you'll find more crime in all levels of society starting with government officials, drug addiction, homeless people etc...
You’ve done an excellent job at telling these stories; both orally and visually.
Great piece of journalism, but it is painful to watch.
Our concern should be the issues that are plaguing the US right now. How are we supposed to help other countries, when our own is falling apart?
It's like in an airplane, you risk killing yourself if you put someone else's mask on before your own. Then you have the ability to help others.
You can still have compassion. It doesn't cost you anything
and this is why voting blue is a vote for the life of america
@@protostarsblue voters and politicians have already destroyed this country, have fun on the way down goober!!
Exactly, but many people like to feel superior by pretending to care and help when in reality they’re just distracting themselves and us from our own problems.😢
What I find fascinating is that public displays of emotion are highly culture bound. Back 600 years ago in England, it was standard for grieving people to claw their face until they drew blood. That would cause someone to be sectioned under the mental health act today.
Yes, there’s no appreciation for letting people grieve in a visceral way.
''600 years ago in England''........Source please?
Back in the day!? when diseases ran rampant, and nothing was properly sanitary? Sounds like they would soon be the ones in the coffin after that stunt.
That goes to show just how crazy the Europeans really are.
Just like drug use in America except we have fentanyl instead and our are dropping like flies! Its so sad to see the world has a terrible drug problem,your photos are a documentary of today's world well done young lady!
I’d like to see a documentary like this made in LA, Portland, or SF of our homeless, drug addicted society. Or the fentanyl crisis.
I vote Kensington, Philadelphia with their Tranq epidemic.... it takes a lot to shock me and that place shocks me to my core!!!
They have many on Kensington! You should check it out it’s really a eye opener
They don't want ppl to know & all these Ppl believe that "Rehab" doesn't have a 97% FAILURE rate w in 3 yrs!!
NO it isn't those who Really want to quit that DO...
The "program" IS SST up to be a High paid industry that NEEDS REPEAT BIZ to keep it Afloat!
The Revolving "once an Addict always an addict" & other Lies that Blame the Sick- unlike other illnesses -if a Cancer patient-doesnt get "cured" they don't blame them!
But Rehab & also some of the well paid Non profit Orgs Wldnt survive if all those ppl were PREVENTED & Cured (Yes there Are Permenant cures- but they are costly & spell the End for the Rehab & other systems dependent on their supply of addicts.
All They Teach is Abstinance- no wonder w telling them they will also NEVER not be an addict- which of course they Can reverse their Addictive Personality (Wholeheartedly recommend this Book & at least 9 mos of help dep on how long they've been addicted- but correct Knowledge & reversal of no addictive personality- Live like did B4 were addicted. Some it's very young but it's not a normal "state" & unlearning it & then applying it & treating the low Dopamine levels left with & other depleted health issues Mental & physical- can be 100% cured.
But we're would the whole industry created for addiction "Treatment," go if this really happened?
Why do Social workers have to do 6 yrs of College to help addicts-esp when they've never been an addict?
Think Abt this & also look into the Truth Abt Psychiatric Drugs at DrBreggin.com to see how they also create a need for opiate use w the damage esp to the Dopamine system etc & the Lies of them exposed!!
Also Y.T documentaries Abt the Psych system & MEDS! Creating mental illness to Treat it....
Yup, we have all that happening right here on a daily basis.
Exactly. It’s as if this could have been set anywhere.
It may look strange having the addicts do exercises, but it's actually a good thing. I've seen it done in American treatment centers as well.
exercise is the free way to get the “feel good”, natural chemicals in your body kicking. Exercise, green tea, oatmeal and yogurt. That’s what facilitated kicking cold turkey (heroin). In with the good, out with the bad.
America the best place on earth for drug rehabilitation and prevention.
@@davidmaisel8062 thats a lie
@@davidmaisel8062 this is a joke right..... Google Kensington NJ
I lived and taught English in Vietnam for a bit, and travelled around Cambodia and other countries in the region. The exercises like this were pretty common, especially in schools at breaktime (i used to join in with the kids and other teachers every breaktime), and i remember seeing it being done in government offices and places like that too, so in the photo i don't think it is something they were doing specifically for drug treatment, rather a cultural phenomenon, but i guess it wouldn't do drug addicts harm either, help give them a routine and something healthy to do. But yeah, i also found it confusing in the beginning, i can only imagine how an addict in withdrawal would be feeling!
Very beautiful work... just wanted to add a smile to anyone who reads this my mom was a "photographer" she spent a good 30 minutes explaining to me such an in depth explanation about the beauty and symbolization in this one photo she took and how it made her feel and oh man! Right?....it was a photo of the sidewalk with a patch of grass.. I wish i had the ability to see things like that ☺️.
A patch of grass lol. Your mom's a legend ❤❤
Lol im just like your mom 😂 im an artist and my husband is my total opposite and responds similarly to you so I get it
I really appreciate Lianne Milton's purpose of doing all this. It's truly eye-opening that the first goal out of uncovering such news is to show create empathy first.
Man, Lianne is a top notch journalist. I've been very impressed with all of her work that I've seen.

Too bad the title is to vague and click baity to give enough information (or even the appearance of integrity or clarity) for the video to to be watched by as many people as it (seemingly) should.
I refuse to watch this because of it. My limit for vague, click baity, sensationalist titles/headlines was exceeded years and years ago, it has helped lead society to the crisis we are in today, and I refuse to support it ever again....
Outstanding reporting. Respectful and compassionate. Well done.
Just go down town in your own neighborhood and you’ll see drug addiction just as bad. Every country is in a fight against drug addiction. Western countries treat addicts the same. Jail, homelessness, it’s the same everywhere.
We act like this carnage don’t happen right here in America. Drug abuse, murder, shootings, fentanyl, pure chaos. We used to be a beacon of hope.
Jesus, Guatemala sounds absolutely terrifying! Our drug problem here in America is just as bad tho. As a recovering addict myself who lives close to a well known major problem for fentanyl, it’s crazy when you actually see a real life zombieland. Like hundreds of people just zombified walkin around, syringes everywhere, people shooting up right in front of patrolling police! And it’s so bad, the cops don’t even do anything anymore. They just try and contain it to that area smh it’s a wild sight. I was fortunately never on the streets in my addiction, and usually didn’t go around that area. I had been using for about 3 yrs before I even went and checked it out for myself and even as an addict I was blown away. Like blown AWAY. I actually cried driving thru there. Smh
As a recovering drug addict myself, I am on the methadone program. Is there programs like that in America? It has saved me and I have been clean from using illegal drugs for 9 years now. It also helped that I destroyed most to all of my veins. But I just wanted to say that I hope you can get some help. Switching from one addiction to another is a way of getting away from the worst drugs. Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
@@kerrynicholls6683 aww thank you! I should have included in my post that I am actually clean! I’ve been clean for a little over 5 years! I still consider myself an addict tho. You’ll always be an addict, you just have it in control now Yano. And I did get my life together thanks to the methadone maintenance program! Thank god for it frfr! Saved my life! I’m actually totally clean now, not on anything but the occasional drink and toke off a joint if someone has it lol but I’m so super blessed for the life I hve now! God gave me a second chance at redemption and man I appreciate every second of every day of it!

That's America, right? That is exactly what we do in America. The 3rd World way of handling drug addiction is the American Way. We're not superior to Cambodia 🙄
She says she wants to spread empathy and understanding. It starts at home, right here in America. This is weird to me that people refuse to acknowledge the poverty here. Looks just like that in many places here.
The fact that we get free videos from VICE News on TH-cam is priceless, keeping the education and knowledge alive. 🙏🙏🙏
May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
Priceless.

She talks like this poverty and neglect doesn't happen in America. It's rampant, didn't even have to go there to tape this. Show what goes on here so we can have empathy and understanding here at home. We need it real bad.

Wow, she can really capture the moments of shock!!!
What an incredible woman. Her photos are landmarks of these events - especially when she explains them. The family around the car and the photo of women shooting up through veins in their necks are devastating. To be so dependent on drugs just to try and stay alive shot to shot is depicted in the photo better than any other photo I’ve ever seen. Losing a loved person so quickly and in such a terrible way is shown brilliantly in that first photo. Devastation of their very souls is caught in this shot. if we are really aware, we see so, so many of the world’s people losing the battle. The governments in reality do much too little or nothing.
It’s very depressing and hard on your mind and body to be surrounded by tragedy so much. I do hope reporters and image takers constantly involved at this level of despair, take care of themselves, as this work is very emotionally involving. Thank you for your awareness and letting the world know about these atrocities. 🥀💥
I do wish “Joy to the world. Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea. Joy to you and me.” 🌷🌱
Great work as usual vice!!!
Such brilliant footage and journalism.
Thank you 🎉
So sorry the sound and volume is verberating and very feint😮
those funeral directors hovering over the grieving families are despicable vultures
In my country we have a common saying:"someone's dead, is another one's bread" and that's just the case there.
Did you hear the part where one mechanic shot another mechanic because of competition? Most people are struggling to survive in that environment. The funeral directors are just doing what they need to do to survive. Holding back means losing possible income. It may appear repulsive to us, but don't judge until you've been in their shoes.
Still a little repulsive to approach a grieving family who just discovered their relative is dead. Unfortunately, it's a terrible situation for most of them (no pity for the killer and narcos), but I doubt even Guatemalans are ready to discuss burying their relatives after discovering they passed.
@@becsterino the grieving family is Gonna need help tho with the body and funeral arrangements, it makes it easier for them so they don't have to go out and call one later

These photos are excellent-top class. The sad stories behind them are so well captured. Well done.
Wait until they have no veins, they don’t regenerate. As a recovering drug addict on the methadone program, not having veins really helped me to stop taking illegal drugs. I have been clean for 9 years now. It’s a big problem when my doctor wants me to do blood tests, the last time it took 2 hours and they finally got one on my foot, which isn’t there anymore. It collapsed after they used it. Not looking forward to having more blood tests. But the doctor needs them at times, I guess. Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺

They had to go through my artery to get my blood because I have no veins it was very painful

I am so sad Vice news is going out of business when they are giving us and showing us what is really happening around the world. All these journalists losing their jobs😢😢😢. My heart goes to them!
I remember a time when we saw more footage and details about the topic then the person covering the topic. Why do these new "Journalist" have the need to compete with the story?
She appears on screen almost as much or more than the story and footage...jeez.
God the amount of pain in the world is just…
We like to say mockingly that school doesn’t prepare us for the real world. Usually we’re thinking of money, or cooking, or whatever. But really, what school doesn’t prepare us for is the pain. We grow up seeing horror movies and being scared of them, but at some point you pass that amount of horror, and it just keeps piling on. It’s honestly astonishing.
One important thing the photographer didn’t mention is that there are a LOT of babies born in S.America, especially Brazil born with Microcephaly because of Zika virus. If a mother is infected during pregnancy the chance of the baby having microcephaly go up drastically. The mosquito species that carry zika and other diseases love urban environments and thrive in poor neighborhoods where there’s standing water in things like rooftop water basins, old tires, trash. Poor women and their babies living in low income areas are badly affected by zika and thus, microcephaly, because of this.
Most of those people living in such conditions are their own undoing.
Zika is a engineered bioweapon that was tested out on them. The genome of zika isnt natural you can see it was spliced together.
Like lime disease was a bioweapon to use against soldiers in the field. Released from plum island to infect americans to see what happens.
Govts have done numerous biological radiological tests on its citizens.
Nie zika, but herbicydy. Czy jesteś naiwny?

Does the woman getting injected into her neck have a huge neck cyst?
Those cysts occur when the user misses the vein. A big bubble type abscess appears from the heroin
and these form pockets and craters.

❤ we need more old school real journalists with Integrity Compassion and Neutrality. journalists like this True professional are becoming a rarity.
She didn't have to go all the way there to film that. There are places in America like that. I used to walk by people with blood oozing out of them who were shot or cut, to get sugar at the store for my mother when I was 14. (lots of time!) At 15 I worked 3 short blocks to my part time job at a city rec and would with-in that walk see people fighting and pulling knives on each other just about everyday. When I got to the rec/gym, I would have to call the cops about 3 times with-in the 4 hours I worked there on 7 to 10 year olds and that was in the 70's. For fun I would go two blacks from my mom's house when I was 14 to watch the heroin addicts walk down the street to one of the local drug dealers houses to buy drugs. I was amazed how they could bend all the way backwards and pop up and bend forwards to the ground and never fall. If they owed the drug dealer money and did not pay, it became baseball time. There was no gun fire back then so today it is much worst. In the 80s and 90s the funeral homes could not find space for the bodies of kids 13 to 17 shot selling drugs by rivals or small kids shot because they were playing in the yard. Skip to 2023.....My lord. Certainly, if you look for it, you don't have to go far or look hard to find things like this. But to those who have never seen anything before or been around it. They are amazed. God bless the child who has to walk by it.
Yes true
Just go to Kensington
But she wanted to know what was going on there in other countries. It's a big world outside of America.
Wow, The Photo With The Paramedic's Fingers inside The Body of The Gunshot Victim Preventing Him From Bleeding Out. Later To Find out He Bled Out at The Hospital is Some Powerful Stuff and That Photo Caught it. 🤯
She didn't say anything enlightening about any of the instances she photographed. IDK why people in the comments are saying this is good journalism-- she gave us 0 context to the violence in Guatemala or the babies in Brazil and seemed to not even know what was happening in the Cambodian drug rehabilitation center. Terrible video.
Sophia was on the channel SBSK. i am so sorry this sweet baby and her family had to deal with this. I have 2 toddlers with autism. The one "looks normal" until hes throwing a tantrum and the other, you can clearly see he is special. I often worry about the hate they will have to endure but i have to remember this familys strength and courage because they have definitely gone thru it. 😢 it was sad to see she passed ❤
So much darkness in this world.
There’s nothing new with that. Many fenty users in the US use the same neck injection methods. I personally think that along with the tainted pills (pills cut with many different drugs) is the main cause of so many drug deaths these days.
This is what VICE is all about. Keep reporting the truth of the world.
They can't produce this kind of work any more, they're just interviewing someone who _IS_ that kind of journalist.
Very interesting thanks 😊 for sharing this info ℹ️ people probably don’t know
Long ago, here in a California city, my neighbor did this to her sister in the apartment next to mine the sister died 😢
Man this hurts to watch I wish everyone would just walk in Love we could all help each other so much if we only did what JESUS said to Love our Neighbor as ourselves man what a world that would be.
She needs her own channel.
Ask those people how they feel about how we should all go green for the climate.
So funny how the people in this country protest about things so insignificant. People are just trying to live to get to see the next day.
She said the murderer is usually in the crowd . Theres a guy looking right at her. 😮
Does she think "homicide" only pertains to the murder of men? She casually throws in the term "femicide" along with homicide.
Can't these be longer
Your images are stunning, attesting. So much life in them. Like film stills telling an entire movie/ story. 💜
😢 I think about all these people everywhere suffering and remember there are others who want them to because they crave control and to give pain. It's truly a world not worth staying in
This woman should not of narrated this. Her vocabulary is simple and her use of "umm" and "like" is off putting.
Worst journalism ever. Here’s a few pictures and her interpretation of them.
These photos/stories are from 2010, 2011, 2016, 2017. Why are Vice pushing them now? Why the delay?
These photographs are SO POWERFUL
This is every where Violence and drugs don't have have to go far.
Don't even start by comparing anyone being like Jesus on the cross. That was one of the most disgusting and despicable remarks I have heard in a while and borderline blasphemous.
God damn all these problems are sad, I hope they get fixed in the future.
Downvoted because the title misrepresents the content of this video.
Drug abuse is such a sad cope for despair.
clickbait is not the vice we need you all need to shut up
Thanks Liane , reminds me of LA . What other uplifting documentary are in the works one wonders?
I was just thinking that!
You decided to give them privacy by photographing them? They injected what in their necks??? You people are vultures. Nasty.
This shakes you to the core and makes you ask, Why would Americans want that here?
I know why. It’s because they make you feel good, but then you get stuck in addiction and it takes more and more drugs to get the same results. As a recovering drug addict, I was groomed on morphine by my rapist, and he got away with it, because the police didn’t want to do their jobs. Anyway I am on the methadone program now, and it’s helped me stay clean for 9 years now. I hope America has such programs to help people, but I doubt it considering that would mean they would be giving something away for free. Which I hear isn’t something that happens in America. I’m sorry for the people of America. Things aren’t going to get better if big companies continue to make the laws, instead of doing what is best for the people. Sad 😢 Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
Excellent reporting!
That is blasphemy comparing that guy getting shot and killed to Jesus Christ
Structure is very much needed in early recovery.
Thank you for this.
If this is a teaser for 2024's journalism I'll be very excited.
Getting the people moving and in at least some sort of schedule is better than them killing themselves in the streets
She seems more confused than anything, like she doesn't understand why or how these things happen, or the slightest idea how to stop them, naive.
Like, daily exercise is healthy and it adds structure to a person's life, which helps them recover from addiction. So, putting them into a facility that removes drugs and adds structure to their lives, which they clearly didn't have before, will help them.
She clearly doesn't understand the reality that which such drugs, they are in charge of your life, not you. So, you need to remove the drug and put someone else in charge of your life until you're strong enough to be on your own, obviously. Even then, people will relapse, because not everyone is capable of being in charge of their own lives.
"she doesn't understand why or how these things happen, or the slightest idea how to stop them, naive."
And your suggestion of "daily exercise" and incarceration, and constant supervision/blind obedience is "reasonable" and "helpful"? Really?
Truly spoken like someone who has never even met an addict...
"naive"
Ad hominem attacks are fallacious arguments frequently used as a defence mechanism by people too wilfully ignorant to know that they are falling victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect or too illiberal and arrogant to even try to understand new information if it could possibly challenge their narrative, no matter how verifiable the facts actually are. It's such an obvious thought ending cliché. Would it be so difficult for you to use skepticism to determine what verifiable facts contradict your assertion as well as those that support it so that you could then use logical reasoning to come to a rational, justifiable conclusion instead of just asserting what your "feelz" or the hate mongers keep telling you "must" be "common sense" that so very conveniently happens to support your narrative?
