Narco Pops Series
This series shows the rising sales, both legal and illegal, of Actiq, a powerful pain reliever for cancer patients. The series covers many facets of the drug industry. It shows how legal sales of the drug are going up because of shady marketing tactics, as well as how its packaging is misleading and many users do not know about the drug's dangerous side-effects.
