Targeted specifically to high school students and their families, Fentanyl High is a feature-length documentary film about the opioid epidemic and the dangers of fentanyl as researched and directed by Kyle Santoro, a student at Los Gatos High School. The film shares the perspectives and experiences of high school students in Santa Clara County, and explores how teens are dealing with their emotional pain at home and at school, why teens turn to social media to buy fentanyl-laced drugs, and what reforms need to be made to save young lives.
“I made this film to inspire teens to save their own lives and those of their friends, their sisters, brothers, or family members,” Santoro said. “I hope teens will ask themselves, ‘How can I be a better friend? How can I save a friend’s life?’”
The film features real stories by parents who have lost teens to fentanyl poisoning, as well as first-hand experiences of paramedics, doctors, and government officials who are working to address this issue.
County Supervisor Joe Simitian, who is featured in the film, will provide opening remarks, along with Santoro.
This Event is 1.5 hours long with no intermission.
