Loopholes

This insightful documentary takes a critical look at drug abuse in Singapore, especially the abuse of legal drugs, and the controversial claim that drug addicts use a loophole for exchange terms with the police, thus getting off free if they betray their supplier. It evaluates the success of the move against drugs, the desperate situation for drug addicts and for those who are reforming, and the supplier and pusher game.
