Huntington, West Virginia has the highest death rate from drug overdoses in the country. This short documentary, less than 40 minutes, follows three women in three totally different walks of life as they deal with and try to help those addicted in this small town.
One woman is a judge in a drug court. One is a firefighter who is usually first on the scene in any overdose. The third is a "street preacher" who reaches out to prostitutes and users, trying to get them into a program to stop using.
There is no judgement in this film, no blame placed, no disrespect or dishonor. It is simply about the opioid epidemic in this small town and how regular people are trying to come to terms with what is happening. And how they are trying to help.
It is worth watching. Check it out.
