After his sister’s drug-fueled untimely demise, Greek-American documentary filmmaker and NYU Professor Michel Negroponte devoted himself to the subject of narcotics for more than six years. The results were two revealing documentaries about addiction, like you’ve never seen it before.

After the screening of “Methadonia”, Katerina Matsa, psychiatrist and director of the Drug Dependence Treatment Unit “18 ANO”, will lead a discussion.

The screening of “I’m Dangerous with Love” is followed by a Q&A with the director via Skype.
