Opioid Crisis Documentary
‘Do No Harm: The Opioid Epidemic’ National Premiere Screening
Narrated by Golden Globe-winning actor Ed Harris, the new documentary Do No Harm: The Opioid Epidemic takes an in-depth look at this crisis affecting the entire country. It tells poignant stories from addicts, recovering addicts, and families who have suffered devastating losses. The film carefully discloses which drug companies are responsible for the man-made epidemic: what monies Congress members have received, and which institutions in our nation are fighting back with effective, long-lasting treatment programs. Beit T’Shuvah is a unique Los Angeles based treatment facility that has been fighting addiction for the past 30 years. The addicts whose lives have been saved by this landmark organization share their stories in the film.
