Meth and the madness

This Sunday night, Twin Cities Public Television will rebroadcast the station's highest-rated production, Meth: Shadow Across America, and Life After Meth, two chilling documentaries co-produced by the Hazelden Foundation. The airing couldn't be more timely: Last week it was announced that meth-related arrests in Minnesota have increased by 100 percent in five years. Shadow Across America reveals the effects of meth from the perspective of law enforcement, former users, and treatment specialsts, while Life after Meth focuses on users who have overcome addiction and the tumultuous recovery process. The programs air at 8:00 p.m. on channel 17.
