Bar Owners & Alcohol Abstainers Sought for Belgian Drinking Culture Documentary

Looking for bar owners and other interviewees for journalistic documentary Hello Belgian redditors. To cut it short, I am looking for people willing to speak on camera for a documentary me and my classmate are making as a university graduation project. The focus of the documentary is the decrease of drinking and the impact of this on Belgian culture.  We are looking for:  -Bar owner (preferably small town) who had to close down his venue or is on the verge of doing so  -Someone with a personal tragedy related to alcohol consumption (e.g someone who has lost a relative or close friend due to alcoholism, someone who has lost their career etc.)  -People who consistently abstain from drinking alcohol or never drank it for non-religious reasons  If you fit any of the categories and want to share your story or know someone who would like to, please DM me. The documentary will be primarily filmed in English so it’s great if you speak it, but Dutch or French is also perfectly fine, especially for bar owners.  Some more info:  My name is Kosmos Khoroshavin, I’m a student studying and working in journalism. I am a copyeditor and reporter at The Brussels Times. However, this story is unrelated to any media and is not planned as a commercial project. This short documentary is a final year graduation project for Thomas More University in Mechelen.  We can’t propose any financial rewards for participation, but we will treat your story with deep respect and curiosity.
