I watched a video on YouTube that was a portion of a documentary called "Prescription Thugs". This documentary is about the overuse of prescription medication and the negative impact prescription drugs have caused individuals all over the U.S. It is a recovering addicts interview with an ex pharmaceutical representative. In this interview she is stressing the addictive nature of these drugs, and how the industry is only motivated by gaining a profit.
I can easily use this video to introduce my social issue, that is, prescription drug abuse. Her interview will be a huge eye opener for everyone and a great way to validate and support my stand on this issue and just how big of an issue it is.
I also found a clip of the trailer that is more focused on the prescription drug effects on the body. The entire documentary he is speaking to real people about their experiences with these harmful drugs. I might try to fins a way to work them both in. These clips should both be seen, and aid in proving my point.
