OneFifteen – The Dayton Opioid Crisis

“It’s not like we’re bad people that need to get good, we’re sick people that need to get well,” Nic Scheff.

Our five minute mini doc, which we filmed from March to November 2019, tells the story of the opioid problem in Dayton through the eyes of the team who created a new way to treat those suffering from addiction. We interviewed the former head of the FDA Robert Califf, Mayor of Dayton Nan Whaley, Nic and David Scheff who inspired the film Beautiful Boy starring Steve Carrell and Timothy Chalamet and many others. Senator Rob Portman also makes an appearance in this moving and timely story of hope and recovery.
