Dying in Vein is deeply personal exploration of opiate and heroin addiction through a cinéma vérité style that drops you directly into the lives of an addict in recovery, a couple trying to get clean, and a family grieving the loss of their son. Through these stories, the film explores the contemporary belief of 'living life pain free', the shame and blame that exists around addiction, co-dependence, and the impact of socioeconomic class on our broken treatment system. Dying in Vein is raw and real and hopes to move beyond the shame and blame of addiction to the compassion that families need to heal and grow.
