It's like I don't think the public pays enough attention to seriously how bad the problem is in West Virginia, because it's one of the smallest states in the country and it's like not much attention is being given to what's going on there.
Imagine a state where a pharmaceutical giant floods the market with billions of opioids, targeting a population of just a few million. 'Overdosed', a gripping feature documentary, dives into this harrowing reality in West Virginia. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', hosts Joanie Sigal and Jason Good sit down with the film's producer Jim Zwiers and director Mary Sue Connelly to discuss the making of the documentary and its profound impact.
They also chat with Cammie, one of the film's key figures, whose personal journey through addiction and recovery adds a raw, human element to the story. From the chilling statistics to the heart-wrenching personal stories, this episode sheds light on the devastating effects of the opioid crisis and underscores the urgent need for awareness and action. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply want to understand more about this national crisis, this episode offers a powerful, eye-opening experience.
