- Free fentanyl resources & short (6-min) Youth version at www.naturalhig... “Dead on Arrival,” is a short film about fentanyl’s deadly role in the U.S. illicit drug market. In early 2021, the CDC announced that 93,000 citizens perished from opioid drugs in 2020, and that 70% were killed by fentanyl, driven mainly by counterfeit opioids and tainted drugs purporting to be something else. The PSA, “Dead on Arrival,” was produced, written, directed, and photographed by Dominic Tierno and Christine Wood.
“Dead on Arrival” is focused on the people at risk. Those at risk include casual users, partygoers, experimenters, regular users, and even unsuspecting bystanders who may come into contact with the powerful opioid. The film explores the stories of four families who lost loved ones to fentanyl in various ways and its larger impact on communities of all types.
In addition to the suffering and pain that fentanyl has brought to families and neighborhoods, the film is also a primer on what makes this epidemic so deadly and pervasive. It looks at the manufacture, counterfeiting, marketing, and distribution process that allows fentanyl to sneak into anyone’s home.
The interviews in “Dead on Arrival” are powerful first-person accounts of fentanyl deaths told by surviving parents who started V.O.I.D. (Victims of Illicit Drugs), a foundation created to spread awareness and educate others in order to prevent further lives lost.
Stories include:
Amy Neville survived her son, Alexander Neville (14)
Steve Filson survived his daughter, Jessica Filson (29)
Jaime Puerta survived his son, Daniel Puerta (16)
Matt Capelouto survived his daughter, Alexandra Capelouto (20)
The opioid crisis, birthed by pharmaceutical companies, has been supplanted by the fentanyl epidemic. Through counterfeiting, fentanyl and its analogs now account for nearly all of the illicit opioid market and is easily found in heroin and non-opioid drugs like cocaine, MDMA, Xanax, Ketamine, as well as many more “designer drugs.”
The statistics in this video are from 2020. Please check the latest stats on fentanyl use at www.dea.gov/on...
In 2023, the DEA confiscated over 62+ million counterfeit pills, and 7 out of 10 pills contained a lethal dose of fentanyl.
Watched this in school today this was deep
This is such an important message. I hope it gets more views. I've lost 3 nieces and a sister to overdoses all within a few months of each other. My son was in treatment 2 separate times and is now interning to work with people in recovery. There is hope.
Thank you for sharing your story, Tammy. I'm so sorry for your losses and glad to hear your son is in recovery.
My sympathies to those who have lost loved ones!
I know some people won’t believe me but if you just lessen to your kid or ask them how there day is it can help them because sometimes it looks like they’re happy but they may not be it’s easy to put on a smile
Love it - Keep those conversations going! Please share this video with the young people in your life!
Thank for making the movie. If the government is not doing anything to tackle the drug poisoning problem, you are thelofe saver of all those potential but avoidable victims.
Ok. Why is no one marching on Washington DC about this
Most heart wrenching documentary any one should see
As I mother, grandmother, and teacher I worry about this everyday! I cannot say it enough! Don't get to curious about something you have no control over! Manufactors, dealers, and users do not care if you use fentanyl once or everyday - your life means nothing to them! You are a simple transaction! You are worth so much more then this!!
Yes, it's scary! Please share with the young people in your life!
I lost my only baby girl from this devil 😈 💔 it's not supposed to go this way she was supposed to bury me,not the other way around I miss her sooooooooo much, I pray for all the parents going through this

To all parents, please don't be hard on yourselves; Cancer killed my only son, and I blamed myself for many years. Death is cruel!!!
This is an incredible documentary prayers for all the families 😢❤
Awwww Daniels dad had me in tears, I’m so sorry 😢
This Doc. is right on time. This is a National Crisis out of control.
Why aren't these people who have lost kids . Not in Washington DC to declare a new war on drugs and the cartels. Crickets 🦗.
I am so sorry 😢 🙏 🤲.

I took OXY in the hospital after major surgery it was a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I CALLED THE NURSE INTO MY HOSPITAL ROOM, SPIDERS ON THE WALLS, SPIDERS ON THE CEILING, I WAS SCREAMING AND TERRIFIED. IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HORRIBLE. MY DR. WAS CALLED INTO THE HOSPITAL @ 3:00 AM. HE ARRIVED AND WITNESSESSED THE MENTAL ANGUISH THAT OXY WAS GIIVING ME.. MY DR. TOOK ME OFF THAT MESS, ASAP! OXY. POISONING IS REAL EVEN IN THE HOSPITAL SETTINGS. HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! I HAVE NEVER TAKEN THAT MESS AGAIN. NEVER! OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT NOT EVER SOOOOOO HORRIBLE!
Sources would be nice
I shared to my community page. I am having a live tonight to discuss The Fentanyl Crisis , anyone wanting to tell their stories is more than welcome to join me on my small channel... small but every voice counts.
Thank you for sharing this valuable message!
The gentleman that had the sample drugs in front of him should be a commercial 😢
Bring back mandatory sentences for possession. At least if you're in prison you'd still be alive & able to change.
Would be much better to actually help people get clean.
THANKS - please get someone to translate that into italian - i could do it actually .....
Thank you, please translate and write it here on this post. Do Arabic as well if you can
From China to the Mexican cartel and through our open borders.
🙏🏼
these people thqat t5hink it wont happen to them will happen to them they need to be talked to from an earley age check your kids phones see who they are talking to on the phone more schools need to be able to talk to children about it this drugg choses anybody it knows no boundrys
Sorry not interested (
This is fake don’t listen to it
Lol ok then have fun on drugs
What part is fake?
Dealer?
There is only one part of this video that is fake. It's impossible to simply touch fentanyl and die. It must be ingested: nasally, orally, smoked, or intravenously. This simply serves to scare others away from helping someone during an overdose. Recovering addict.
Fake!!! You are either a dealer or user or just plain heartless. I promise you it isn't fake.
very well directed! 👍
😏😏🌽🌽🍑🍑
thank you!

I’m literally sobbing right now😣
This April 27th will mark 3 years since I was found on a McDonald’s bathroom floor overdosing from fentanyl.. I had just lost my best friend a month before to fentanyl and then I had relapsed.. I’ve struggled with drugs my whole life, I’m 27 and this April 27th will also mark 3 years of real sobriety for me. I haven’t touched fentanyl or any drugs since that day at McDonald’s.. I legitimately know close to 10 people who are now gone because of specifically fentanyl. It’s so scary and knowing what I know now I always say I hope some day I can help others who have struggled with this like I have.. this was a good video! Thank you for sharing🖤
If I could tell that dad who lost Jessica anything, I’d tell him that when he asks why she did it even though she knew it was dangerous.. it’s because addiction is a mental illness. When you can’t bare to be in your own skin your not thinking of that - you just want some relief. I’ve seen it happen so many times. A lot of these people struggle with other mental illnesses that in order to cope they start using. We need better education on mental illness and we need better access to good mental health professionals. Just because you don’t see it bright and clear doesn’t mean that mental illness isn’t there.. It’s taken me legitimately my whole life to realize that you can learn to bare being in your own skin without substances. But it’s taken me a longggggggg time and a lot of self work to get here. I almost lost myself before I could, luckily I didn’t. That’s why I wanna help others like me so bad so we can stop these deaths, stop devastating families, stop watching our loved ones die. I’m so sorry he lost his daughter! My best friend passed away from this and also left behind a daughter.. I cry every time I think of her. Sending them love🖤
Congrats on 3 years of sobriety, and thank you for sharing your story! We're so sorry for the loss of your friends. Helping spread awareness about this dangerous poison will save lives.
I pray you remain strong! You have a calling to help others that have that inner struggle that's so incredibly painful that only someone who's experienced it can understand it. Stay strong! God bless you!
Keep going
Well done Dominic. Powerful.
We agree! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hopefully this film helps spread awareness to this critical issue.
I loss my son Ken 3/21/17 to Fentanyl toxicity he thought it was heroin. Ken blamed himself for the death of his friend Matt who died from a 4wheeler accident on 1/23/03 they had been friends since the first day of kindergarten at age 5 and both were 16 at the time of the accident and up until the day Ken died he was still saying he wished he could trade places with Matt. I share Ken's story in hopes of saving another momma from living this nightmare Ken did not want to die 3 days before his death he said he wanted to be a better father to his daughter and she already thought he was the best daddy in the world. Ken will always be the best part of me and it's my honor to be his momma❤I can't wait to be reunited with my son
Really sorry to hear of your loss. Hugs from Natural HIgh
@@NaturalHighNetwork thank you❤
ALSO KEEP NARCAN ON HAND! NARCAN IS VERY IMPORTANTE. You can save someone’s life by having Narcan available. Not just for fentanyl but for prescription opioid overdose. ALSO there are kits that you can use to test your drugs. You don’t have to blind to what’s in your drugs.
What a powerful film. Young people NEED to see this, it could stop them from starting with drugs and save so many of them. 😢
Thanks for your feedback- so glad to hear you found the video beneficial!
Thank you to those who took the time to make this video. Thank you for the parents that told their stories about their children. God bless you.
I pray in the name of jesus that every person that watches this video is moved in their hearts & to second think of any decisions that they are going to make when it comes to using any type of narcotics. May this video reach every single person possible to make a difference or help bring awareness 🙏
