Meeting Room.

Meeting Room is a feature documentary about the Concerned Parents Against Drugs movement in Dublin, Ireland during the 1980's. The film was made by James Davis and Brian Gray and premiered at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival in 2010.

In early 1982, residents of Hardwicke Street called a meeting to address the epidemic of heroin use in the flats and the lack of action from the authorities to address the impending catastrophe. The concerned parents of the area decided to take matters into their own hands and soon had formed a group known as Concerned Parents against Drugs (CPAD) to confront the dealers and drive them out of the neighbourhoods.
