LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Democrats are reformatting their Second Saturday Cinema program on Aug. 8 as a virtual film discussion.

Participants are invited to view “Prescribing Death: The Opioid Crisis in America.”

View at home, when it’s convenient, then join them on Aug. 8 at 2 p.m. for a virtual get-together.

The film follows a case in Oklahoma, where Dr. Regan Nichols is on trial, charged with five murders for over-prescribing opioids.

Her lawyer insists that she was tricked into writing prescriptions by junkies and is being made a scapegoat.

But others believe that doctors like Nichols bear a large responsibility for the crisis now engulfing the country.

Enjoy camaraderie and discussion from your couch, your patio or wherever you set up your device. Residents must register to participate; use this link.
