Crisis is the latest crime thriller film written, produced and directed by Nicholas Jarecki. The film aims to present an overview of the opioid epidemic that countries like the US and Canada are currently experiencing.
Jarecki aims to present the complexity of the epidemic by including all involved and affected by it, from the substance user, their loved ones, the police fighting the ‘war on drugs”, those who sell and profit from the sale of these substances, and the large corporations that manufacture and distribute the substances while ignoring conflicting scientific evidence to their addictive properties.
