Complete Record: The content of Dead is Dead is as coldly matter-of-fact as the title. Produced by actor Godfrey Cambridge, this informational film discusses drug addiction: its causes and its possible cures. Several real-life addicts are shown fighting their addiction by going through rehab therapy. This 21-minute reality dose is not designed to be pretty: Cambridge deals with a tough subject with commensurate toughness. The 1972 Bill Withers song Lean On Me was also used in the film anti-drug 1970s heroin, needles, injecting drugs, withdrawals etc. graphic stills!
