High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell

High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell is a 1995 American documentary film directed by Richard Farrell, Maryann DeLeo and Jon Alpert.

The documentary takes place about 20 miles northwest of Boston in the economically depressed former mill city of Lowell, Massachusetts.

Over eighteen months, a documentary crew follows Lowell, Massachusetts natives Dicky Eklund, Gary "Boo-Boo" Giuffrida, and Brenda in their daily exploits to get high on crack cocaine.

Once the United States' first planned textile town, Lowell fell on hard times after the mills' relocation to the South.

Eklund, portrayed by Christian Bale, is shown smoking crack and being high throughout, telling his family that the HBO camera crew are filming him making a boxing comeback.
