“In all of my years of documentary production, they were the most gut-wrenching and deeply personal interviews I’ve ever done. They were emotional, moving and eye-opening,” said Clay Johnson, WRAL’s documentary producer.
Johnson is talking about the first-person accounts used in the latest documentary from WRAL, Capitol Broadcasting’s NBC affiliate in Raleigh, N.C.
Searching for a Fix airs on Tuesday at 7 p.m. on WRALf as well as on the web and streaming devices.
The hour-long documentary goes beyond the overwhelming statistics of heroin addiction to tell intimate, personal stories of how this problem affects people and devastates families just in every corner of North Carolina.
Emergency medical personnel and law enforcement officers deal daily with overdose cases. Jay Jennings, a WRAL documentary photojournalist, saw this first hand, riding along with a crew on a typical day.
“To be inches away from an overdose victim, literally brought back from the brink of death, is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in my life,” Jennings said.
Recovery experts and policymakers also discuss the search for a solution to this crisis.
