This BBC Eye investigation follows the entire drug chain: from Chinese precursors, to Russian production labs, to the lives destroyed by addiction. BBC Eye takes viewers inside the hidden world of dealers, chemists, and addicts. With rare access, the film tells the story of "Maxim", who entered the drug world at fifteen and was sentenced to twelve years in prison. He vanished in Ukraine after joining the Russian military. We also meet Olya, a teenage girl whose life was consumed by mephedrone. To sustain her addiction she began selling her body. After a failed attempt to get clean, she slid into heroin use. In November 2024, she was arrested for dealing and sentenced to six years in prison. Olya's story lays bare how exploitation, addiction, and desperation intertwine - and how quickly young lives unravel under the weight of drug dependency and punitive justice.
