Interview - Becoming an addict
David Gordon, who is born in the early 40´s, tells his fascinating story of how he as a young man became a drug addict and criminal in California and ended up in prison. Finally he left the drug lifestyle, and became clean. That’s when he decided to leave everything he had in the US, and settle down in Indonesia with his new Indonesian wife, and start all over again by helping young Indonesian drug addicts, many of them with HIV.
