Revealing a social justice movement that culminated through
community activism in Vancouver's downtown east side, this account
documents the opening of the first official safe injection site.
Told from the point of view of drug users--those most affected by
drug policy, political decisions, and policing--this narrative is
conveyed through a montage of poetry and photos of early Vancouver
Area Network of Drug Users meetings, journal entries from the Back
Alley--the unofficial safe injection site--and excerpts from
significant health and media reports. Chronicling the harms of
prohibition and emphasizing the concepts of kindness, awakening,
and collective action, this recollection spotlights a community of
prophets who rebuked the system, bringing hope into situations of
apparent impossibility.
