In this ad, directed by Tony Kaye, a younger teen boy is chased through a parking lot by three older males, who beat him to the ground and kick him. In narration, the boy says he wishes he had been assaulted that night, because then he would not have tried Meth. The worst of the three assailants raises a cinder block high over his head, threatening to drop it on the boy and crush his skull. The camera cuts to a drug den, where the boy, shaking, says “now all I do is Meth.”

American Meth is a cross-country journey that focuses on several facets of the methamphetamine epidemic. From the oil fields of Wyoming and New Mexico to the homeless in Portland and the teens of Montana, filmmaker Justin Hunt spins a blue-collar tale of tragedy and triumph. Actor Val Kilmer lends his voicing talents as your narrator while exploring both the damage being done and community efforts to take back America.
