The Trade - Season 1
Description
An unflinching look inside America's heroin crisis. From Columbus, Ohio to Guerrero, Mexico and countless cities in between, the opioid epidemic has ravaged communities on both sides of the border. But what about the lives behind the headlines and statistics? This timely, provocative five-episode docu-series spotlights the crisis through the eyes of those most affected: the growers, addicts, cartel bosses and law enforcement hopelessly caught in its web.

Producer-director Matthew Heineman, in his second go-round with the war on drugs ... has given us an unnervingly close-up study of the conflict.
