I'm so excited to announce that "Heroin(e)" is now available for streaming on Netflix. I can't wait for each and every one of you to meet Jan Rader, Necia Freeman and Patricia Keller. As filmmakers, we have witnessed first-hand how their dedication, empathy and courage changes lives on a daily basis in Huntington, W.Va. and now you, the viewer, can experience their passion through this 39-minute film.
After our screening at Telluride, several people approached me and shared their personal story of loss and desire to bring this film to their community. I'm happy to report that Netflix has made "Heroin(e)" available for educational/non-profit screenings, which allows individuals and organizations to host events and start conversations around this film. In the coming weeks, our website will include FAQs and guides that will instruct you how to host a screening in your community.
If this story impacts you personally, or you just want to share your thoughts after watching, please do so by using the hashtag #HeroineNetflix. This allows us to track the conversation and impact that this film is having on audiences.
Also, on Sunday, September 17, please join us at the Camden International Film Festival where we will be screening "Heroin(e)" followed by a panel of experts on the opioid crisis. RSVP here.
Enjoy the film, share with friends and family, and please reach out with any feedback or thoughts.
Thank you!
