Heroin: Cape Cod, USA (2015x35)

: 29, 2015

Oscar(R)-winning documentary filmmaker Steven Okazaki (1991′s “Days of Waiting”) turns his focus on the heroin epidemic sweeping small-town America in this documentary. Centered primarily in Cape Cod, MA–an idyllic summer town in the midst of a heroin crisis–the film takes an unsparing look at the lives of several young people in their early 20s gripped by heroin addiction and living a seemingly endless existence of getting high while cycling through stages of rehab, recovery and relapse.
