Black Tar Heroin (film)

Black Tar Heroin: The Dark End of the Street is a 1999 television documentary film directed by Steven Okazaki.

The film follows a simple structure, and shows the drug-related degradation of five youths (Jake, Tracey, Jessica, Alice and Oreo) during the course of three years.

Her friend, Kari Guilinger, attempted to give her CPR with the help of a FoodsCo employee while waiting for paramedics to arrive, but they were unable to save her life.

Shortly after stopping his methadone and the break-up with his first clean and sober girlfriend, Jake was found dead of a drug overdose in January 2002.
