A new synthetic drug is killing more than gun crime, homicide, and car accidents combined. 100 times stronger than heroin, the deadly opioid fentanyl is cheap, potent, and small enough to send in the post.
These market forces have seen it replacing the heroin supply, spreading unprecedented death, destruction, and misery.
And, like all epidemics, it is spreading fast. The death toll has disproportionately affected the homeless and marginalized. And now, due to its strength and low cost, the drug is also starting to appear in party drugs, such as cocaine and cannabis – with fatal results.
This documentary takes you to Vancouver, the epicenter of the fentanyl epidemic to meet with health care workers, activists, fentanyl dealers, and people who use it.
