This less-than-feature-length documentary chronicles the endless cycle of addiction perpetrated by a mother and son living in a squalid tenement in San Francisco. 22-year-old Ryan and his mother Stephanie are both drug addicts: Although he'll take whatever comes along, her substance of choice is crack cocaine, and she demands that her son provide her with some. As they navigate their respective addictions, each comes close to overdosing just before they're evicted from their apartment.

I love this movie so much

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Fantastic!

Ginger

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

"Foo Foo Dust" is a short-form documentary about a mother and son who both are drug addicts, and the unrelenting dysfunction in their symbiotic relationship. It's a hard film to watch, but anyone who does so will come away with an experience (most likely) unlike anything they've ever had. It's really a film about being human, about the compulsions that we engage in and the undeniable force that keeps us alive... and it's also breaks some assumptions about drug addiction and those who fall sway to it. The mother is a UC Berkeley educated woman, a child of the '60s, who is reduced to turning tricks to pay for her crack addiction, screaming incessantly for a cigarette lighter from her doting and forgiving son, himself a heroin junky.It's a film that lives somewhat beyond description. You have to see it.**Winner, Best Short-Form Documentary, Los Angeles Film Festival 2003**
