Part of the Social Seminar documentary series by UCLA and the National Institute of Mental Health. This one diverges from the hippie/dropout white middle class youth to show the life of a somewhat poor young Chicano with divorced parents and a hostile father. This, of course, leads to drugs. There is a group meeting or seminar with some sort of (seemingly loaded) teacher or counselor who tells the students that if they are high on campus, they should come to him cause he won't bust them.
The gang hangs out, alcohol and funny cigarettes are consumed, and pills are popped. Then the inhalants are huffed. Watch the brain die right there on camera for you. Shock ending. HIGHLY recommended!
