Behind The Orange Curtain Documentary - Free Screening

Behind the Orange Curtain: FREE Film Screening and Expert Panel this Sunday!

The South Orange County Coalition which is made up of representatives from the Cities of Dana Point and Laguna Beach and community organizations and others will be hosting the screening of the Behind The Orange Curtain documentary at the Laguna Regency South Coast Theatre in Laguna Beach, Sunday September 23rd at 3:00 pm.  

Behind the Orange Curtain is a documentary that will delve into the staggering problem of teenage Rx drug abuse in one of the most affluent counties in the country.  Young, privileged teenagers are dying of drug overdoses in record numbers in Orange County,California. In particular prosperous cities like Laguna Niguel, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. This documentary film will set out to ask the question.....why? 

Many of these tragic deaths are from pain medication drugs like:  Opana, OxyContin and Hydrocodone.  Who are the doctors that are giving these teenagers the lethal prescriptions?  Why?  We want to find an honest, objective answer. The teen years are challenging for both teenagers and parents.  Is it harder these days with the online bullying and social networks?  Is it peer pressure?  Low self esteem? Do kids turn to drugs to solve their problems?  Is it easier to find drugs if you have money? Do “rich kids” have more temptation? These are questions we want to address and try and answer or at least shine a light on.
