Small Town Ecstasy (2002)
When a middle-aged married couple decided to get a divorce, their four adolescent children thought things couldn't possibly get worse, until their father began taking the "club drug" Ecstasy. This documentary provides a first-hand account of Ecstasy's pervasive influence on a middle-class family that had seemed to have the perfect life. Filmed over the course of two years, the film explores the troubles of 40-year-old Scott, a strait-laced dad whose rapid descent into addiction leads him to bring his young children to drug-fueled raves and parties -- while subtly encouraging them to join in.
Originally aired on HBO.
