About the exhibition

Face-to-Face with Drugs, Vietnam’s first photo exhibition on the private lives of people who use drugs, showed in Hanoi from June 20 to 25, 2011. The Center for Supporting Community Development Initiatives (SCDI) and Tomorrow Media organized this advocacy event with PEPFAR funding and technical assistance from Pact, under USAID.

Photographer Pham Hoai Thanh worked for a year with 50 people who have overcome or still use drugs in provinces across Vietnam, to recount four periods in his subjects’ lives:

• A story we all share
• A lifelong battle
• Finding a way out
• Giving back
