Melbourne, Australia – often dubbed “the world’s most liveable city” – is facing a crisis hidden in plain sight.

In this raw, unfiltered 30-minute documentary, I expose the side of Melbourne the media won’t show you. From the heroin-flooded alleys of Richmond to the dark high-rises of South Melbourne and the chaos on the streets of St Albans, Footscray, and Dandenong… we ask the question:

👉 Does Melbourne have a drug problem?

Featuring real footage and real voices — including former dealers and users like Phatt and Dennis (from Run That Rehab) — this film explores the human toll of addiction, the war zones created by policy failure, and how mental health, homelessness, poverty, and crime are feeding an epidemic.

I also reflect on my own story — growing up surrounded by drugs, violence, and trauma in Melbourne’s western suburbs. This isn’t just a city-wide issue — it’s personal.

Along the way, we uncover shocking truths:
• 🔴 The rise of synthetic opioids and meth
• 🔴 A rehab system with 6+ month waitlists
• 🔴 Mental health services that leave people behind
• 🔴 Injecting rooms built next to schools
• 🔴 Security guards begging for backup in the flats

This isn’t just Melbourne’s story — this is the story of every broken city.
