From Oxycontin to Fentanyl - Mariana van Zeller on Being at the Frontlines of the Opioid Crisis

Mariana van Zeller is an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker who has spent years embedded in the world of illicit drugs, tracing the supply chains and human stories behind the opioid epidemic. Her work examining the evolution from OxyContin to fentanyl provides a rare firsthand look at how pharmaceutical companies, criminal organizations, and public health failures created one of America's deadliest crises. On JRE #1938, she discussed her reporting on the intersection of health, crime, politics, and business that fuels the ongoing opioid catastrophe. Van Zeller's willingness to go directly into dangerous situations to document these stories makes her one of the most credible voices on how addiction and drug trafficking actually operate on the ground.
