Blue Bag Life, co-directed by Lisa Selby & Rebecca Lloyd-Evans, is a raw yet deeply moving journey through the world of addiction. Unflinching in its portrayal of the darkness addicts enter into, as well as the stigma that accompanies it. Nevertheless an emotionally resonant love story that champions hope over despair.
