Week 3 of the SurroundSound Radio Documentary Festival features a documentary on recovery by Leo McKay.
This Recovery Belongs To Me - Two years ago, Matthew Samways was dead. After an evening of bingeing on MDMA, cocaine, and valium, his body gave out. His heart stopped beating. His friends, afraid of the consequences for themselves if the ambulance drivers saw what was inside the house, dragged Matthew out the door and across the sidewalk, where they left him in the snow. This was January. This was Halifax. This was in the middle of a blizzard. Now 24 years old and very much alive, Matthew reflects back on the decade of addiction that led to that cold moment in the snow. Produced by Leo McKay.
