Behind the Orange Curtain
Description
Young, privileged people are dying of overdoses in record numbers in Orange County, California. Many of these tragic deaths are from pain medication drugs like Opana, OxyContin and Hydrocodone. Kids are experimenting as young as age 10 and many find their first dose right in the family medicine cabinet. Is this phenomenon caused by online bullying and social networks? Peer pressure? Low self esteem? Is it easier to find drugs if you have money? And who are the doctors that are giving these teenagers the lethal prescriptions? This documentary delves into the teenage Rx drug abuse epidemic affecting families across the nation.
