There is a person’s story behind every opioid addiction. And each story of addiction has a ripple effect. Opioid Crisis: The Ripple Effect, a WXXI and PBS World production, follows the journey of three women, all mothers, who have served time in New York State jails for opioidrelated crimes. Growing up, these women dreamed of having a family, a career. None of them dreamed of being an addict. You’ll hear how trust of family members was lost over time as the addiction took hold. You’ll feel the frustration, anger, and heartbreak. Interviews with experts help to contextualize what you’re seeing, that these are not isolated stories but are symptomatic of the unraveling of communities. By the end of the film, these women are not simply addicts, they are mothers and daughters, they are loved and feared, they are abusers and victims, but most of all, they are human. This documentary is part of Opioid Crisis: The Ripple Effect, a Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)-funded public media collaborative among WXXI, OPB (Oregon), and ideastream (Ohio) designed to bring more awareness to this epidemic.

Please note: The broadcast of this documentary on WORLD is part of WORLD’s Local USA series and will be listed as such on the program guide of your TV.
