This thesis is about two women, in their forties and from the upper social classes, who have gone through drug addiction and rehabilitation. In the country, we find that drugs and women from these social classes have not been widely studied and presented. Hence, our concept was inspired by this. After further development, we decided that this thesis will explore the life after drug rehabilitation as it seems like it has not been touched in the local context. We chose to document this project through the use of film. This is because film is a medium that has a wider reach and greater impact compared to other media such as print. Our thesis will make use of interviews and observational methods. Interviews will be conducted with our respondents and significant people in their lives. We will be following our respondents around as they go about their daily activities. By means of this thesis we hope to build awareness and understanding about drug addiction and rehabilitation. In doing so, we wish to present former drug dependents in a different light. It is important for society as a whole, drug dependents and or none dependents, to see that there is still life worth living for after rehabilitation.
