Indonesia experienced a drug epidemic in the 1980s due to rapid economic growth and the increased availability of new drugs; YAKITA was started in 1999 as a response to this crisis. Hannah spends the day at the center getting to know the girls and chatting about shoes and drugs. Originally released in 2012 on VICE.com Check out the Best of VICE here bit.ly New videos every day.
