Chasing Heroin

Video duration: 1:54:11 Aired: 02/23/16 Rating: NRVideo has closed captioning.

FRONTLINE looks at America's heroin crisis in a fresh and provocative light -- telling the stories of individual addicts, but also illuminating the epidemic's years-in-the-making social context, deeply examining shifts in drug policy, and exploring what happens when addiction is treated like a public health issue, not a crime.
