Opioid Overdose Awareness – One Show Social Brief

This project aims to raise awareness of the opioid epidemic in the US by showing the enormous scale of people effected. Approximately 115 people die from opioid overdose in the US every day. So, this means that on the same day that beloved, world-famous celebrities like Prince, or Philip Seymour Hoffman, or Tom Petty, died from opioid overdose, a staggering 114 others lost their lives, too. By highlighting the deaths of these celebrities – and comparing them to the deaths of those whose faces and names we may not necessarily know – we are showing that this is a problem that can touch anybody. This work helps people from all over the country realize that the epidemic is a vast, equal-opportunity crisis, and urges people to educate themselves on the impact this problem is having on our society, and on what they can do to prevent it.
