Video: The LSD Story

Amazon Video on Demand — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 21:14:42 -0500

Sgt. Joe Friday (series star Jack Webb) and his partner, Officer Bill Gannon (co-star Harry Morgan), break up an LSD party and track down a suspect who has been selling the drug to teen-agers. Michael Burns guest-stars as Benjie "Blue Boy" Carver, an 18-year old "pusher" who not only provides the drug which produces weird hallucinations, but also uses the "acid". Carver first encounters the law when, painted up garishly, he is arrested at a vacant lot with his head buried in the ground. Earlier he had been reported chewing bark from a tree. His well-to-do parents (Robert Knapp and Eve Brent) are indignant with the police but later learn the hard way of LSD's destructive effects.

It seems that many AIDS sufferers have died under similar mysterious circumstances. Each case suggest the use of assisted suicide, which is illegal in New York. HIV-infected cellist Matt (Don McKellar) has died of a drug overdose following a large party in Manhattan given by his family and friends. Nick first questions his lover Brian (Brent Carver), who runs an HIV support clinic. Still looking for answers, she interviews Matt's closest family members, including his mother Lila (Olympia Dukakis), his younger sister Dana (Sarah Polley), and his older sister Gaby (Joanna P. Adler). Meanwhile, Nick battles with her own past secrets involving her family back in New Jersey. The Event premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. - Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
