 k Street" will be shown.About The Movie: While Lowell is generally known
  for its central role in the Industrial Revolution as the first planned 
 textile town in the United States\, the city had fallen on hard times si
 nce the mills left the city in the early 1920's. &nbsp\;Wang Laboratorie
 s\, a major employer in Lowell in the prosperous 1980's\, declared bankr
 uptcy and virtually went out of business in the early 1990's. &nbsp\;The
  Lowell of 1995 had a large percentage of the population unemployed or u
 nderemployed\, in poverty\, and unaffacted by positive things in the cit
 y like the Lowell National Historical Park and The Lowell Folk Festival.
  &nbsp\;Much of the film takes place in a lower-class section of the cit
 y's (Lower) Highlands neighborhood.The documentary frames the lives of t
 hree addicts against the background\; particularly their hopeless situat
 ions\, while exploring them as human beings. &nbsp\;The film reveals the
  lives behind addiction: their aspirations\, why they do drugs and why t
 hey don't quit\, etc. &nbsp\;It interviews their families\, friends and 
 members of the community\, discussing how drugs have destroyed the lives
  of the addicts. &nbsp\;Richard Farrell\, one of the directors\, writers
  and producers\, is a native Lowellian and a former addict\, allowing th
 e crew deep access to the city's drug scene.\nTo learn more about other
