As overdose deaths in Vancouver, Canada reach an all-time high, the Overdose Prevention Society opens its doors in the Downtown Eastside, a neighborhood often referred to as "ground zero of the overdose crisis." A renegade supervised drug consumption site that employs active and former drug users, the crew do whatever it takes to save lives and give hope to a deeply marginalized population while demanding more radical responses to the devastation ravaging their community. LOVE IN THE TIME OF FENTANYL reaches beyond the stigma of drug use, revealing the courage and compassion of those on the frontlines of the crisis.
