The first two shows in Stockton and Manteca were very popular. This documentary examines what needs to change in the community, at school, and at home to save lives.
Here is a sampling of what participants are saying after the viewing:
“The stories coming from those people firsthand gave me a way better understanding of how dangerous any substance is and the effect it will have not only you but also your family, friends, and everyone else in your life.” Gabrielle, aged 20
“It was very informative not only to me but also my teens who attended with me. It gave me a glimpse into all the pain these families will go through for the rest of their lives because of a drug that is flooding our communities and killing our kids.” Jennifer, parent
“As a treatment provider, I learned more important information regarding the short-lasting effects of Narcan and how important it is to be aware that the one dose may only last 15 minutes.“ Armando A, Addiction Medicine Specialist
“I thought the whole experience was very heartfelt, informational and captivating. Especially when it came to the speakers of the film and those who spoke about their experience losing a loved one due to fentanyl overdose. It really hit me hard emotionally.” Audawn, aged 22
This documentary focuses on the dangers that illicit fentanyl presents to teens. Dr. Maggie Park, Public Health Officer with San Joaquin County Public Health Services, endorses the documentary with, "We are hoping that this documentary opens the door for important conversations between parents and teens about mental health and drug use."
