Hamilton Morris

In 2013, five friends with no documentary experience embarked on a journey to expose the rise of dangerous substance adulteration, and provide a well-rounded critique of ineffective drug policy.

Dans son petit appartement new-yorkais où il vit avec sa femme, Leeward, musicien talentueux et atypique, compose des morceaux à l'aide de jouets de sa fille de trois ans, Rainbow. Lilas, jeune vidéaste, traîne sa valise de squats d'artistes underground en galeries branchées, en espérant percer dans le milieu fermé de l'art contemporain. Leur rencontre pourrait bien les pousser à enfin accomplir leurs rêves...

In this retelling of the classic tale, Aladdin is an out of work indie-rock singer living in a video-game-world ruled by a perverted technology-obsessed Sultan.

Hamilton Morris heads to the heart of the Brazilian Amazon to investigate a traditional drug extracted from the screen secretions of a jungle frog.

"There is an Amazonian frog called Phyllomedusa Bicolor or the Sapo which I have been reading about for years. It is totally different from the psychedelic toads found in North America. The Sapo's venom produces an effect much closer to morphine than LSD, but really it's not like either of those things. It's a distinctly vomitous dissociative experience unlike anything else I've ever encountered. I had to find out what this frog really does, but supposedly it cannot produce its venom in captivity. The only way to experience its unique trip is to travel down the Amazon River and catch one yourself, which is exactly what I did." - Hamilton Morris, Vice correspondent

Synthetic Drug Revolution' - In the world of synthetic drugs, man-made chemical compounds are often engineered to skirt narcotics laws--and have become some of the most frequently abused substances in American high schools. VICE correspondent Hamilton Morris tracks these chemicals back to the Chinese factories where many are made, and meets the godfather of modern synthetic drugs at his remote lab in New Zealand. 'Transsexuals of Iran' -VICE follows the stories of homosexuals and transsexuals in Iran as they navigate a terrifying cultural landscape. When Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in 1979, he enforced strict Islamic custom that made homosexuality punishable by death. Surprisingly, though, the state treats transsexuals differently, allowing sexual reassignment surgery and in some cases even paying for it. Gay Iranians now face the agonizing choice of fleeing their communities or permanently changing who they are.
