Video makers Ken Glenwright (front) with (from the left) social worker Neil Gibson

Video makers Ken Glenwright (front) with (from the left) social worker Neil Gibson, Raymond Armstrong, social worker Penny Pool and Alison Phillips..
Ken, Neil, Raymond, Penny and Alison, have made a film where they interview glue sniffing teenagers from Tyneside about their glue snogging habits. The film will be launched by The House of Commons to raise awareness of this social problem.
Local reaction has not been good, as Mr Denis O Connor, who runs a Newcastle clinic for glue sniffers said the project was misguided. The film was directed by a small number of unemployed Gateshead teenagers, most of whom have tried the habit themselves.
Picture taken 20th May 1985

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures video makers Ken Glenwright, social worker Neil Gibson, Raymond Armstrong, social worker Penny Pool, and Alison Phillips. Together, they have embarked on a powerful film project that sheds light on the alarming issue of glue sniffing among teenagers in Tyneside. Their thought-provoking interviews with these vulnerable youngsters aim to raise awareness about this pressing social problem. However, local reactions to their initiative have been mixed. Mr Denis O'Connor, who operates a clinic for glue sniffers in Newcastle, criticized the project as misguided. Interestingly enough, the film was directed by unemployed Gateshead teenagers who themselves have experienced the dangerous habit firsthand. Taken on May 20th, 1985 in England's North East region during the vibrant era of the 1980s, this picture serves as a poignant reminder of society's struggle against drug abuse. The individuals depicted here are united by their determination to make a difference through filmmaking and advocacy work. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints' collection curated by Mirrorpix, we witness not only the power of visual storytelling but also how collaboration between professionals and affected communities can bring attention to critical issues plaguing our society.
