In this clip from our Meet the Renegade series, Johann Hari, author of 'Chasing the Scream', discusses the state of Vancouver drug culture and how one man started a movement which improved and saved the lives of countless people suffering from drug addiction in the city.

"The addicts started to think about themselves a bit differently, they started to say 'maybe we're not the pieces of shit everyone says we are, maybe we can do something'"
