The Fentanyl Epidemic: How This Drug Transforms Cities Into Zombieland

Dr.Docs' Take

This is the fentanyl epidemic on the ground, the drug turning stretches of North American cities into overdose zones while the crisis flares in the headlines and then gets forgotten. I drop the jokes entirely here. The film's real anger is aimed at how quickly a mass-casualty event becomes background noise. A hard, necessary look at a synthetic opioid killing people faster than the culture can be bothered to notice.
