In 2019, a music reporter named Slava P, who worked for VICE media, received a nine-year prison sentence for orchestrating a scheme to smuggle cocaine from the United States to Australia. Five of his associates were already serving time in jail. Slava P instantly gained international notoriety. Was he a victim of pressure to engage in extreme acts for the sake of a compelling story? Did the drug-fueled work environment shape him? Or was he a manipulator who coerced vulnerable young individuals into criminal behavior?
Here, Slava P shares his version of events: detailing what transpired and how the cutthroat, dog-eat-dog atmosphere of a media company can lure young, inexperienced, and ambitious individuals into taking risky endeavors.
Bad Trips is a tale that intertwines drugs, hip-hop, influencers, and glamour, set against the backdrop of one of the world's most influential news and entertainment platforms, VICE. The film follows a cast of attractive young individuals and semi-famous rappers as they navigate from the seediest apartments to the most opulent private clubs. Slava P's portrayal of his years at this renowned hub of excess offers a poignant insight into contemporary media culture.
All proceeds from the sale of Bad Trips will be donated to co-author Brian Whitney.
