Sophie's Story
2006 Short film
- Drama
- Educational
Sophie's Story grew from an Auckland community initiative into an award-winning education tool warning teens about the dangers of P (methamphetamine). Sophie (Troy Garton) records her older brother's descent into P addiction via her video diary. Alex (Westside's Xavier Horan) 'borrows' money to feed his habit, which makes him violent and paranoid. The acting was so convincing the film won Best Documentary at the 2007 International Family Film Festival in the USA. However, real-life interviews with police and psychologist Nigel Latta feature, offering advice about P abuse and avenues of support.
