Capitol Broadcasting’s NBC affiliate WRAL-TV Raleigh aired “Searching for a Fix,” an hour-long documentary addressing heroin addiction on August 1. The hour-long documentary shares personal stories of how this problem affects people and devastates families across North Carolina. The documentary features emergency medical personnel and law enforcement officers who deal with daily overdoses and recovery experts and policy makers who are searching for a solution. “In all of my years of documentary production, they were the most gut-wrenching and deeply personal interviews I’ve ever done. They were emotional, moving and eye-opening,” said Documentary Producer Clay Johnson. The program is now available on WRALdocumentary.com.
