The Fentanyl Diaries Art Dolan

For years the Fentanyl crisis has been ravaging, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, spilling from the deep cracks in society. The Fentanyl Diaries is a sliver of harrowing tales and lost victims. A glimpse within the daily struggles of those affected, a cross section of unique characters intertwined in their desire to fill the void and escape their perceived destitution. Something you can only understand if you can bear to look beneath the rock and see the worms. An expression of dying, in a day, in an hour, leaking out into the madness of the world. A dark poetic look into the throes of addiction and how it cuts deep into so many lives. From the streets to the clubs, from the doctor's pad to the highest echelons of socio-economic advantage. The Fentanyl Dairies is at once an exquisite ode to the blunt expanse of opiate addiction and a heartbreaking series of tales that strike at the epicentre of this pandemic. Dolan reminds us that we are forever shaped by our experience, and at any moment one slip from the edge of redemption.
