From 2016 to 2019 more than 12,800 Canadians have lost their lives at the hands of this epidemic. So why is there not a blinding bright spotlight as hot as the surface of the sun being shined on this issue? Province-to-province grassroots initiatives provide harm reduction services, prevent overdoses, and reverse overdoses when they happen. From health inequality to a discriminatory drug policy, everyone alive today grew up surrounded by deep stigmatization towards drugs and the people who use them. Flood: The Overdose Epidemic in Canada is a documentary that aims to reduce the stigma around substance use and inspire others to take action. Written by Adam D'Addario See less
