Oxyana: Documentary on the Impact of Oxycontin in the Town of Oceana, West Virginia

Oxyana is a documentary about Oceana, West Virginia. What once was a mining town has since turned into a city so inundated by the prescription drug Oxycontin that it’s now referred to as Oxyana.

Directed by Sean Dunne, he’s someone that I keep forgetting that I like. When I was reminded that he was the director for American Juggalo, I knew instantly that I wanted to see this new film of his. And in looking back over some older posts, I forgot that Dunne was also responsible for the docs about Rocky Salemmo and Paul Mawhinney.

I love the guy’s work, and hope to be able to see Oxyana in a theater somewhere. If you’re curious to learn more, check out this review from Capital.
