INTRAVENE is an immersive audio experience using binaural 360 degree sound to plunge listeners into the heart of the overdose crisis in Vancouver. It is a groundbreaking partnership of immersive and documentary experts and drug user activists: DARKFIELD, Crackdown and Brenda Longfellow.

Episode One: BENZODOPE is a fully immersive episode. It places the audience in the centre of Vancouver’s Overdose Prevention Site (OPS) and features voices from the drug user community via interviews by Crackdown.

Opioid overdoses were bad enough. But now Vancouver’s drug supply - already contaminated with fentanyl-is laced with benzodiazepines. Peer workers like Trey Helten, a former drug user and manager of an Overdose Prevention Site (OPS), loves his chosen community and has saved hundreds of lives with naloxone. But now benzos are throwing up new kinds of challenges.

Over 20 minutes, BENZODOPE immerses listeners in the intense audio environment of the OPS where a user has inadvertently injected a hit contaminated with benzodope.
