This original and compelling documentary depicts one father鈥檚 long-term struggle with heroin addiction, told through the uniquely intimate perspective of his own son. After years of acrimony and estrangement, young film-maker Phillip Wood seeks out his father to try and understand what鈥檚 happened to him. But his father is now seriously ill and over the next few months Phillip鈥檚 visits force both to confront some uncomfortable truths about their past. Developed from Phillip鈥檚 graduation film, Chasing Dad: A Lifelong Addiction offers a strikingly stark exploration into a subject that significantly affected his childhood. This intimate, revealing documentary will show addiction from a different side and challenge our assumptions about how families can rebuild their broken relationships.
