Since COVID began and people have been isolated and unable to connect with friends and family, opioid overdose deaths have doubled. Our country is in crisis and Coming Clean hopes to create awareness and impact solutions to change the trajectory of this epidemic. Our loved ones' lives depend on it!"This documentary by award-winning filmmaker Ondi Timoner brings together artists, political leaders, the lead prosecutor against big pharma, recovering addicts, and those working on the frontlines to fight this - the deadliest drug epidemic in history. We want to ground the opioid epidemic in stories that show us just how connected we are, and what's at stake when we turn away from one another. Most importantly, we wanted to connect the dots on how we got here, and how we can find our way out of this crisis."About Ondi Timoner:Ondi Timoner is known to be one of the greatest talents in non-fiction filmmaking. She often takes on the stories of visionaries fighting against all odds with a gripping and unique narrative style. Ondi has the rare distinction of winning the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival twice - for her documentary, DIG! (2004) and WE LIVE IN PUBLIC (2009). Both films were acquired by MoMA, NY for its permanent collection. Other award-winning features include: THE NATURE OF THE BEAST (1994), JOIN US (2007), COOL IT (2010), BRAND: A SECOND COMING (2015) and COMING CLEAN (2020). In 2017, Ondi created and produced the critically-acclaimed 10-hour nonfiction television series JUNGLETOWN about the building of “the world's most sustainable town” for Viceland. Ondi wrote, directed, produced and edited the scripted film, MAPPLETHORPE, starring Matt Smith. After premiering at Tribeca, the film was released theatrically in 2019 after winning eight Audience Awards and Best Narrative Feature at several festivals. The MAPPLETHORPE Director's Cut will be released in the Spring of 2021. Ondi has also produced and directed music videos for The Dandy Warhols, The Vines, Paul Westerberg, Lucinda Williams, Vanessa Carlton, The Jonas Brothers, and Run DMC, among others. Ondi was nominated for a Grammy for Best Long Form Music Video for an EPK she directed about the band Fastball in 1999. Ondi has also enjoyed a career in front of the camera, interviewing filmmakers and innovators for a number of shows. In 2011, she created and hosted BYOD (Bring Your Own Doc) for thelip.tv producing over 300 episodes with top documentary filmmakers over five years.

Subjects include musician Amanda Palmer, graphic artist Shepard Fairey, comedian Russell Brand, musician Moby, Twitter-founder Jack Dorsey, Instagram-founder Kevin Systrom, and the late founder of Zappos, Tony Hsieh. Ondi has released two master classes for filmmakers, “Lean Content” with Eric Ries & “How to Make a Great Documentary (In My Opinion).” Additionally, Ondi has produced & hosted WeTalk, a traveling talk show about the women shaping our culture with the mission of taking #MeToo to #WeDo, since 2018. In 2014, she gave a popular TEDxKC talk entitled “When Genius and Insanity Hold Hands” explaining why she tells the stories of “impossible visionaries.” Ondi is currently helming a new film called ALONE, TOGETHER (w.t.) which looks through the eyes of scientists and artists at how technology is transforming our ways of connecting and loving, given the societal trend towards increasing physical isolation, accelerated by the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Long before COVID-19, another pandemic was raging across the American landscape, penetrating all age groups, races and socio-economic classes. The cause: opioids. The culprit: Purdue Pharmaceutical and the company’s deceitful approach to lure in and hook patients. COMING CLEAN, Ondi Timoner’s new documentary, examines opioid addiction through the eyes of those affected and political leaders, as they come together to bring the profiteers to justice. Timoner deeply engages us by weaving in personal stories of addicts and their families struggling to overcome this painful addiction, sometimes with success but often with devastating and heart-wrenching consequences. COMING CLEAN presents a clear case against the perpetrators, including how they incentivized physicians to overprescribe opioids. In a hopeful turn, we witness the alliances built between addicts in recovery and policymakers as they work to remove the stigmas surrounding this addiction and impact laws and industries to bring necessary change in communities. A thought-provoking film on the state of our country and the current political landscape. Director Ondi Timoner (DIG!, We Live in Public, JUNGLETOWN) joins us to talk about the corrosive impact of the opioid crisis, the devastating impact it has had on families, communities and our vital institutions and who has been most responsible for this scourge.

Peter and Kevin watched the show "Jungletown" on Viceland this week and wondered how the show's volunteers were doing such a poor job of running a PVC water system to their home site. So they asked Roy, who didn't pull any punches. Meanwhile, Kevin spent some time out in the woods testing weird new camp stoves, and Daniel Espinoza, the director of the new sci-fi horror flick Life, calls in to explain how horror movies scare you. Prepare to be shocked! Prepare to be entertained! Prepare to learn cool stuff from movies and TV shows!
