In 2001, a Mexican drug ring based in Ogden targeted Wyoming’s Wind River Indian Reservation with more than 100 pounds of Meth -- enough for 45,000 doses. Within five years, assaults tripled, thefts doubled and child abuse increased 85 percent. The documentary exposes the ripple effects of Meth abuse, including sick and neglected children, environmental damage, thinly-stretched police departments and overburdened health-care facilities. Weiler, who previously produced KUED’s “Substance of Denial” about drug abuse in Utah, will talk about substance abuse issues in Utah following the screening.
