Dear Supporter,
if you could not attend the International Harm Reduction Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, don't worry: the Drugreporter video advocacy team was there to film the event. We were invited by Harm Reduction International to be the official film makers of the event, the short video we produced was screened at the closing session of the conference.
Please read our report about the hazy dawn of the harm reduction decade and watch our conference video!

This year we were also invited to lead the International Harm Reduction Film Festival, where several exciting documentaries were screened, highlighting burning issues, such as human rights abuses, best practices of harm reduction, community involvement and overdose prevention. I was really glad to see that many of those who attended our video advocacy trainings in previous years submitted their movies to the festival - and frankly, they were really good. For example, I recommend you to watch "Fight HIV, Not Drug Users!", a movie produced by our alumni, Dhojo Wahengbam from Manipur, India. It's amazing to see how the impact of our work is multiplied by our video advocacy trainings!
I also would like to call your attention to another important video - Harm Reduction: Stuck in the Transit Zone - we produced in Tbilis, Georgia, where we attended the Road to Success regional dialogue - and interviewed representatives of community leaders and policy makers about how the funding of harm reduction programs can be transitioned to domestic funds.
All these activites would not be possible without your generous donations. Please, consider to support our work in the future and tell your peers to do the same!
Best regards,
Peter Sarosi
