This post is on something very close to home.
Born and raised in the Welsh town of Wrexham, Swansea City is fairly nearby.
And so when watching Swansea Love Story on YouTube, it was especially emotive for me.
It's not a new documentary, uploaded onto YouTube in June 2012, it was shocking for even me to watch.
I have seen plenty of non-fiction short films and documentaries on drug users but there is something about this one.
I'm not sure if it is because, it really is so close to home or because of the narrative throughout the documentary, but every time I watch this documentary, my heart breaks.
It's hard to believe that this level of depravation exists in a leading Western society.
Directed and produced by Andy Capper, Swansea Live Story gives insight to the realities of drug addiction and how it can affect people, relationships and even cities.
