Welcome
As deaths in Vancouver, Canada reach an all-time high, the Overdose Prevention Society opens its doors—a renegade supervised drug consumption site that employs active and former drug users. Its staff and volunteers do whatever it takes to save lives and give hope to a marginalized community in this intimate documentary that looks beyond the stigma of people who use fentanyl and other drugs.
Join the conversation after the film with special guests.
Presented by WKAR in partnership with Punks with Lunch Lansing, The Fledge, and Harm Reduction Michigan.
This event is free, but RSVP here is required.
The viewer registering will need to create a free OVEE account and will be asked to provide their birthdate to verify their age as 13 or older.
