  "Coming Clean: How to Solve the Deadliest Drug Epidemic in History, Through the Eyes of it's Survivors..."

  From award winning director Ondi Timoner, comes COMING CLEAN, a feature documentary examining addiction through the eyes of recovering addicts and political leaders, as they come together to bring the profiteers to justice and rebuild in the wake of the deadliest drug epidemic in our history. Coming Clean follows addicts in recovery as they form alliances with policymakers to impact laws and industries and break down the stigma against addiction.
