OxyContin Blues

(2011)

A documentary exploring the devastating impact of OxyContin addiction on a small Cape Breton community in Nova Scotia, following individuals and families torn apart by dependency on the powerful prescription painkiller. The film examines how the drug swept through the region, leaving behind a trail of broken lives, crime, and grief, whilst also looking at the broader failures of the pharmaceutical and healthcare systems that allowed such widespread abuse to take hold.
