Your film is definitely shining the light on something that needs to be visible. We have to make people aware of it, and that's what you did with your film and what you're continuing to do with getting it out there.
What happens when a small town becomes ground zero for a national crisis? In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', hosts Joanie Sigal and Jason Good sit down with the producers of 'Overdosed', a gripping documentary by award-winning editor Mary Sue Connolly. The film takes you to Petersburg, West Virginia, a community ravaged by the opioid epidemic, and reveals how pharmaceutical companies targeted this rural area as a dumping ground for pain pills.
Through raw and unfiltered interviews, the producers share the challenges they faced while making the film, including resistance from those still entrenched in addiction. 'Overdosed' not only exposes the devastating impact of opioids on individuals and their families but also underscores the urgent need for awareness and education. The episode delves into alternative rehab methods and the emotional toll addiction takes on loved ones.
It's a compelling conversation that sheds light on the harsh realities of addiction and offers hope for recovery. Don't miss this eye-opening discussion that calls for viewers to engage and continue the conversation about the opioid crisis.
