The USA’s Drug Crisis

Available for over a year

Claire Bolderson is in Ohio, where Opioid drug addiction has become the most serious public health crisis to hit the US in a generation. Claire speaks to recovering addicts about how this has affected their lives, their communities and their job prospects. And, attending a premier of Black Panther in Beijing makes Marcus Ryder realise just how close the link between China and Africa has become over recent years. We’re in Beirut, Lebanon where Sophia Smith Galer meets a dancer who marries tradition and progression within his art. Finally to Zambia, where Nick Miles speaks to some of the county’s firefighters and discovers they have more than flames to contend with.
