Dear Drugreporter Fans!
In 2012, the HCLU produced 154 movies, of which 76 are foreign-language, and 78 are in Hungarian. In 2013, we produced 64 movies - 16 in Hungarian and 48 in other languages. During those two years, we won five prizes and held five training courses in video advocacy. Browse these two catalogues and open the videos by clicking on the link!
In 2009, the member states of the United Nations reaffirmed the dream of a drug-free world, adopting a political declaration which aimed to eliminate or significantly reduce drug trafficking within ten years. Five years later, a high-level segment of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) was convened in Vienna, to discuss the mid-term review of the implementation of this plan. What are the key issues that divide the United Nations? Is the international drug control system losing relevance? What can we expect from the UN General Assembly on Drugs in 2016?
The film we produced in Vienna aims to provide answers to these questions.
We are now working on a movie on the policy on so called legal highs (new psychoactive substances) in New Zealand, a country that decided to regulate the market instead of prohibiting them. The movie is coming soon!
Next week we are going to Basel, to the European Harm Reduction Conference, where we would like to produce a short video review of current trends in harm reduction.
Without Your support we would not be able to produce films for changing drug policies.
