Elisa Maple's proposal




society faces one of its hardest challenges ever, as another generation is lost to drugs. Although there has been an increased focus on the issue of drug use and distribution, very little attention has been placed on the reinforced cycle of destruction, which occurs within a family structure in this environment. The following proposal offers a long-term documentary project on the family structure within a drug environment.

More importantly, how this lifestyle is reinforced and passed onto the next generation. It is a cycle based on a loss of hope. I would like my work to provide the basis for an open forum of discussion on the issue of the family structure within the drug environment.

In hope of better understanding the problem of this continual cycle of destruction, which inevitably leads to the loss of another generation due to the acceptance of violence, drugs, and the loss of hope. This in turn will be the first step in finding a solution. It is no longer just an issue of saving the children, but also saving our future and that of our country.
