A friend of mine has just done something amazing. An entire issue of Time Magazine is devoted to Jim Nachtwey’s photo essay on drug addiction in America. One issue, one photographer… The Time website will give you a significant look at the essay, but this one is worth buying the magazine.

This is why we need more border protection and when it is all said all 4 borders will need strengthening.

The current opioid crisis in USA results from aggressive pushing by pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma. How is border protection going to address this, except for propaganda purposes?This is why we need more border protection and when it is all said all 4 borders will need strengthening.

I wasn't aware that there were borders around Ewing NJ, where oxycontin synthesis in the US was developed, or Wilson NC, where US consumed product is manufactured.
You also cannot put a border around direct marketing of medicines, which occurs only in the USA and New Zealand, and which is counter-productive to positive health outputs.

The pictures are scary but as always excellent. I didn't know Nachtwey was still active, glad you posted that!

About Nachtwey
Great documentary movie about Nachtwey is the award winning film "War Photographer" https://archive.org/details/wphoto I have watched it over and over. There is a great photography lesson there, not about f-stops and lenses but about photos that communicate.
His 2007 TED talk https://www.ted.com/talks/james_nachtwey_s_searing_pictures_of_war is also compelling.
Watching photos like those included there will make one realize the futility of searching for good photos on flicker.
