Tipping the Pain Scale

I saw this documentary yesterday at the Las Vegas International Film and Screenwriting Festival and like several other selections at the festival so far it was a real revelation. This is such an incredibly topical documentary. We haven't begun to scratch the surface on reckoning with the opiod crisis, and what it has done to our country. Art, even informatjonal art like documentaties, can help us do that, if they are organized and objectively preaented in ways that help us and inform us. I have said about other films that they left me thinking long after the credits rolled, and this is one of them, too.

It's hard to really critique the elements here, as it's a standard documentary, nothing groundbreaking in terms of construction or presentation, but it's well done and absolutely worth watching!
