EN PORTADA | "FENTANILO: ¿NO WAY OUT?", la DROGA que marca RÉCORD de MUERTES en SAN FRANCISCO | RTVE

The program travels to San Francisco, where the fentanyl epidemic is shaking the city center, emptied by remote work and with nearly 9,000 people living on its sidewalks. A team from the program travels through San Francisco, one of the wealthiest cities in the United States, to witness the public health crisis unfolding on the streets, right in the heart of the city, in plain sight. "Fentanyl has changed everything." This is the most repeated sentiment from addiction experts, doctors, NGOs, users, and drug dealers that "En Portada" heard on the streets of San Francisco. The potency and lethality of this synthetic opioid paints a picture of helplessness, described by the fentanyl users featured in the documentary. Committed residents, like activist and drag queen Kochina Rude, are working to prevent further deaths by distributing naloxone to reverse overdoses and fentanyl strips to test other drugs for the fentanyl. Former addicts, like Tom Wolf, recount how they became hooked on prescription opioids and ended up using fentanyl. And mothers with homeless and addicted children, like Tanya Tilghman, denounce the lack of public spaces and resources in the city to offer rehabilitation treatments to addicts. These are some of the voices featured in the report 'Fentanyl, No Way Out?', which explains the crisis facing San Francisco. This situation overlaps with the uncertainty and economic crisis gripping the city center, emptied by remote work and the changes in consumption patterns brought about by the pandemic. #USA #UnitedStates #fentanyl #drugs #frontpage #epidemic #SanFrancisco #overdose #news #LiveNews #StreamingNews #Spain #newsinspanish #news 👉👉 More news: https://www.rtve.es/noticias ➤SUBSCRIBE to RTVE News on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2WtyvUx ✔️Follow us on Instagram:   / rtvenoticias   ✔️Follow us on Twitter:   / rtvenoticias   ✔️Follow us on Facebook:   / rtvenoticias
