"Dopesick" is a drama mini-series available on Hulu. The show is based on the nonfiction novel "Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company that Addicted America," by Beth Macy. Dopesick is described as a harrowing, ambitious, and compelling look into the epicenter of America's struggle with Opioid addiction. Over the course of eight episodes viewers will be taken from a small Virginia mining community to the hallways of the DEA, and to the "one percenter" office buildings of Big Pharma. The relatable portrayals of various families and communities affected in the show hold a mirror to where America is right now, while shining a light on the heroes battling the worst drug epidemic in America history.
