Warning: This Drug May Kill You
It started with a prescription. Addiction isn't a character flaw, and your grief isn't a secret you have to keep.
Who it's for
The film lets four families speak in their own words, so bereaved parents, siblings and children hear their private experience said out loud by others, which counters the isolation and shame that often follow an overdose death.
