Last year, WAC 1.0 created the documentary H.O.P.E.  a film about the opioid epidemic in our country. 

This year for WAC 2.0 we looked at the connection the opioid epidemic has with the Foster care system. In the midsts of the opioid epidemic, we saw too many children losing parents and caregivers to opioids in both rural and urban communities. Foster care placements have risen alongside opioid misuse and death rates, leaving children as the youngest casualties of the nationwide epidemic. We focused on how the topics came together in Duff, TN and sought to bring attention to the connection they had. 

​

It was a very emotional experience for all not only the producers but for the interviewees as well and you can watch their interviews HERE and below you'll find a poem written by the youth producers!!!
