AFS presents PBS’ Indie Lens Pop-Up.

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the fentanyl crisis is reaching epidemic proportions with accidental overdoses killing many. This documentary goes inside a renegade supervised-usage site staffed by volunteers who are active and former drug users.

LOVE IN THE TIME OF FENTANYL will have a parental guidance rating of TV-MA and will be preceded by the advisory: The following program provides an intimate portrait of a supervised drug consumption site in a marginalized community ravaged by the fentanyl overdose crisis. The film includes depictions of drug use. Viewer discretion is advised.

This screening is free and open to the public.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Urban Survivors Union (USU), Texas Harm Reduction Alliance (THRA), and harm reduction worker Ronnie Grigg. The panel discussion will be followed by a resource fair in the lobby with USU, THRA, and Communities for Recovery.
