The opioid crisis in America has only grown over the last few decades in spite of all the efforts for Land Enforcement agencies. From the Northern borders to the Southern, drug trade has many victims. While Cartel Land from Heineman looked at the vigilante groups that are fighting the cartels, The Trade Docu Series on Showtime explores the emotional side of the crisis with perspectives of all parties involved.
The Trade Docu Series Cast
The Trade docu series premiered earlier at the Sundance Film Festival and will now debut on Showtime in February. Daniel Feinberg dubs the new series as a thriller with a glimpse at the frontlines of the drug trade.

The Trade Docu Series Plot
From Columbus, Ohio to Guerrero, Mexico and countless cities in between, the opioid epidemic has ravaged communities on both sides of the border. The Trade docu series spotlights the crisis through the eyes of those most affected: the growers, addicts, cartel bosses and law enforcement hopelessly caught in its web.
The interwoven narrative transcends the headlines to convey with humanity and nuance the scope and gravity of the crisis. The Trade seeks to break through the simplistic and often erroneously counterproductive assumptions surrounding the opioid phenomenon by spotlighting those caught in the crisis: friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers.
