Drug addiction in Bangladesh is rapidly on the increase, and the resources to face this growing problem are scarce. It is estimated that out of a population of 153 million people, 4.6 million are drug users. Of these, many are children and teenagers. Letters from an Anonymous Addict is a short documentary that sheds light upon the lives of young drug addicts in Bangladesh, following recovering addicts at a drug rehabilitation center run by a 75 year-old Christian Holy Cross Brother in Savar, Bangladesh.

    An excellent piece of immersive journalism.
