FINDING JULIANA

Juliana, an unassuming young adult with her bag of woes, goes missing one day after supposedly stealing a suspicious bag of drugs.

Gladys, one of her friends, sets out to find her, only to discover that her friend’s problem is far deeper than one can imagine. Through the course of finding Juliana, relationships are tested as personal issues force each person to make difficult decisions.

Did you know? Characters behind “Finding Juliana” were inspired by real life profiles! In “On The Mend” docuseries, we dive deeper into these profiles and their life experiences.

 

Actor Rishi (playing Xavier in “Finding Juliana”) speaks to several lives impacted by drugs in one way or another – to find out if there is truth behind the stories of drug abuse from firsthand accounts.

 Youth Film Programme Winners

Watch the short films produced by our three Youth Film Programme winning filmmakers.

In these films, three young and passionate storytellers come together to curate and share their personal narratives on the pressing issue of drugs in today’s society. With the aim of sparking meaningful conversations and awareness among their peers, they courageously open up about their experiences, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges and consequences associated with drug-abuse. Are you ready to challenge your beliefs about drug-abuse?

Drug abuse has harmed millions and impacted generations of families around the world.

But drugs and the issues around drugs continue to evolve, as do our perceptions and ability to investigate truths. 

What’s Your Fix? is an invitation to social conversation, to examine together the relevance of the drug-free cause today and explore how our views on drugs line up with issues of personal significance.

This initiative is led by the National Council Against Drug Abuse (NCADA), with a key intent to connect with young people who are progressive and socially-minded, and yet have been referred by some as the “loneliest generation” ever. Through real conversations with real people, perhaps we can, from our different viewpoints and diversity of lived experiences, find common ground and vision.
