The ninth floor by Jessica Dimmock, is a video she made in an apartment in the 5th avenue in New York city, without much experience she started a photography project called the ninth floor, where she embarked on an almost three-year journey into the lives of those living in the apartment who were heroin addicts.

The video is pretty heavy, it shows us the life of the heroin addicts who lived in that apartment of fifth avenue, jessica dimmock shows us in a very raw way their lives, at the beginning you can see that she was not getting to close to the persons living in the apartment, but later on you see she started getting closer and closer.

The reaction of the addicts is not shown in the pictures maybe because they just didn't care of what was around them, it is shown that all they could think about was heroin.

The Second part of the video, shows us the life of a couple ( who left the apartment maybe to start living life away from heroin.

Sadly their way of living kept on going until, Rachel became pregnant, that showed hope in the middle of that chaos, now Dionn and Rachel thanks to their daughter are trying to get back on track.

The quality of the pictures sometimes is not the best, but it is not the quality that mater but the content of the pictures, it is full of cold colors to represent loneliness, but right at the end colors get warmer to show the new hope that comes with the newborn baby.
