The opioid crisis in Vancouver

The opioid crisis continues to rage on, across our country, killing thousands every year. A documentary has been produced discussing this very important subject and how it has impacted so many communities. The documentary, called Vancouver is Dying, premiered in October and has now garnered over two million views on YouTube. The host and camera crew walked the streets of Vancouver, BC without a filter showing what life is like in those tent cities and hearing first-hand how opioids have impacted so many.
