USA Opioidkrise by Jerome Sessini | MAGNUM
Opiate Addiction in America, «Chapter One: A Heroin Story in Ohio» and «Chapter Two: Philadelphia's Forgotten» by Jerome Sessini. Every day, 175 Americans die of overdosing on opioids, medicines that are supposed to relieve pain. This number represents more than traffic accidents and gun crime deaths combined. In 2016, almost a million Americans used heroin, and 2 million abused or became dependent on prescription opioids (according to the CDC). In that year, the total number of deaths related to the opioid epidemic led to almost 60 000 in the US . These figures were provided by a special commission created in August 2017 by Donald Trump, who singled out this crisis during his election campaign. As was the crack in the 1980s for the black community, opioids have become the emblem of social malaise. That of the white middle-class left behind in the old bastions of the manufacturing industry, struck by globalization and automation; a population that became the heart of Mr Trump's electorate. This scourge, affects cities and countryside in the United States and mainly affect people aged 25 to 54, but it strikes with a particular violence the old industrial basins ravaged by the economic crisis. " There is a clear link between a rise in poverty and a rise in use of prescription painkillers, and I would like to document this link in these areas, which are some of the poorest in the US.The story is not just about the drugs themselves, but about creating a portrait of a town to show a microcosm of a national crisis, and to show the context behind the crisis, and the daily life of the people who live in these places." JS.
