What the creator captured
National Geographic journalist Mariana Van Zeller investigated the rise of 'tranq-dope,' a lethal combination of fentanyl and animal tranquilizer causing horrific physical wounds in Philadelphia. Her journey took her from the frontline of the American opioid crisis to the heart of the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico to uncover who is altering the drug supply. She highlighted the tragic evolution of the epidemic from legal prescription pills to a fourth wave of deadly synthetic mixtures.
