"HURRICANE BLOW" - National Geographic Channel's "Drugs, Inc." Series
The devastating consequences of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana resulted in a wave of small-scale drug dealers taking over the streets of New Orleans. As a means of coping with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatized locals have turned to cocaine.
Greg Scott, President and CEO of Sawbuck Productions, was Director, Writer, and Cinematographer for this film about the post-Katrina rebuilding of New Orleans drug markets.
"HEROIN" - National Geographic Channel's "Drugs, Inc." series.
Follow this dangerous drug as it begins in a remote Afghan heroin lab and witness a police raid on a heroin distribution network.
Greg served as Location Producer on this segment.
"KETAMINE" - National Geographic Channel's "Drugs, Inc." series.
Greg spent February of 2011 on the "ketamine circuit." As a freelance "Shooting Producer," Greg worked with Director George Hughes (Wall to Wall Media, Ltd.) to create a one-hour feature documentary for National Geographic's "Drugs, Inc." series. Here is the product of their work -- from Madison, Wisconsin to Chennai, India to Toronto, Canada -- a globe-circling adventure that explores the multi-layered world of ketamine, one of the world's most powerful disassociative anesthetics.
Greg was Producer on this episode.
"CRACK" - National Geographic Channel's "Drugs, Inc." series.
Fueling crime and violence like no other drug on the planet, crack cocaine is deadly, and so addictive that users will do anything to get their hands on it. Desperate for a high, addicts Jeff and Alexis turn to burglary, drug dealing and even prostitution. In Peru, 14-year-old Gian Carlos is addicted to paco - a highly toxic cocaine by-product sweeping the slums - and harvester "Diego" operates a clandestine cocaine kitchen where he produces high-grade cocaine for trafficking.
Greg served as Location Producer on this segment.
"ECSTASY" - National Geographic Channel's "Drugs, Inc." series.
Christmas morning in a pill. Penicillin for the soul. Known by users as the ultimate "love drug," ecstasy's euphoric high comes with major lows: Ravers have died from it and organized crime gangs will kill for it. In California, students "dial-a-deal" - ordering the drug over the phone and having it delivered directly to their door. A simple transaction like this turned deadly for a 23-year-old dealer who delivered a deadly dose and now faces 20 years in prison.
Greg co-produced the Oakland and San Francisco segments.
