Description
Breaking Dad is a true story of transformation and redemption. In 2009, the national newspapers reported the arrest of a 'drug baron' with a huge haul of crystal meth, but behind the headlines was a more sensational story. The man behind the headlines was James' father, a middle-class, middle-aged, and respected Jewish coin dealer. However, he had a secret life.
James' father had traded in his respectable life for a world of crime and excess, hitting the gay club scene of London and becoming a meth dealer. As James struggled to come to terms with his new reality, he was faced with a difficult choice: save his broken dad or be dragged down with him. This is the incredible true story of their epic highs and crushing comedowns.
