8/10
This one straddles lines, formal and aesthetic, moral and diagnostic. That straddling makes judgment difficult. Still, of course, you're inclined to judge. Go to Full Review

"Christmas morning every morning, who doesn't want that?" says one of the sad young people in the chilling new documentary Heroin: Cape Cod, USA where seemingly well adjusted suburban kids are lured into heroin through painkillers. Go to Full Review

nunuvur B @nunuvurbiznes Sep 20, 2026 Another absolute must see, just like the PBS special heroin epidemic, and of course just like A Life Of Crime part1 and 2: A truly mind bending ride, for parents and users alike... One rly gets sentimental watching this one, terrible God damn stuff, and at times very hard to watch. This one will also leave an impression, just like with A Life Of Crime. I do not understand the low ratings, if this does not get to you, you got to be dead or have some kind of a brain injury. It is just sad. Watch it, and spread the word, even tho it is not exactly a new documentary anymore. It is about heroin and oxies but it might as well be about the cartels fentanyl pills, which we do not have access to, as of yet, here in Scandinavian in the year of the lord 2026... See more K F @Karenreallyread May 2, 2026 I think this may appeal to young people. I believe that showing the impact of addiction on users past 50 would be more worthy. I guess it fills a niche. Where are they in 2026? See more Aug 23, 2021 There are better documentaries around addiction. Could've focused more on how the community setting contributes to addiction. Or the medical side. The personal stories were interesting, but they didn't dive deep enough. See more Apr 28, 2019 The issue I had with this doc is that focused too much on the individual cases vs talking about the heroin addiction situation in Cape Cod. But I guess the point of this one is to focus on individual cases and getting to know them somewhat intimately so that we have a vested interest in their outcomes. It was ok... not bad but not good either. As usual my heart goes out to each and everyone of them as I used to be addicted.
