The film content has been provided by actual people who abused opiates or whose children abused opiates. The FBI and DEA created this documentary to help students develop a greater understanding of this crisis to create a deeper appreciation about the dangers of opioid addiction. Our goal is to reach youth before an addiction can set in. Chasing the Dragon: Official Trailer More Information Here
