Addicted: America's Opioid Crisis

EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

The opioid epidemic gets told here through the people usually left out of the news coverage: the children of addicted parents. Kids who have lived through abandonment, overdose scares, and the collapse of their households speak directly to camera about what it is like to grow up with a parent whose life revolves around pills or heroin. The film uses their testimony as its spine, letting their accounts carry the weight that statistics usually do in coverage of the crisis. Interviews and firsthand footage trace how addiction moves through a family, not just through a body, and what stability looks like once a parent gets treatment or once a child ends up in another relative's care. Rather than focusing on dealers, doctors, or policy, the film stays close to the domestic fallout, showing what the crisis does inside individual homes across the country.
