America's Fentanyl Problem (Narcotics Documentary) Real Stories

Synopsis

A new synthetic drug, fentanyl, is killing more than gun crime, homicide, and car accidents combined. This potent opioid is 100 times stronger than heroin and is cheap and small enough to be sent through the post. In Vancouver, the spread of fentanyl has replaced the heroin supply, leading to unprecedented death and destruction. The epidemic disproportionately affects the homeless and marginalized communities, as the drug's strength and low cost contribute to its rapid spread. The documentary highlights the devastating impact of this synthetic drug on society and the urgent need for awareness and action.
