The project will help viewers see beyond the perception that the opioid crisis is an \u201curban\u201d problem by examining the toll it has taken on small-town Canada. The documentary is set to air in early 2018 on <em>W5<\/em>, Canada\u2019s most-watched documentary series and North America\u2019s longest-running investigative show. <em>W5<\/em> and VICE have also agreed to explore other long- and short-form documentary projects in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>W5<\/em> is a national institution, with incredible reach across the country,\u201d said Tom Henheffer, VICE Canada\u2019s director of news and digital. \u201cThis partnership is a natural fit for us as it combines VICE\u2019s expertise in telling the stories of those at the frontlines of Canada\u2019s opioid crisis, with the years of experience and wide national audience that <em>W5<\/em> brings to the table. We know this partnership will help to take VICE News, and the VICE brand, to the next level in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>W5<\/em> has spent 52 years investigating the most significant issues facing our society, and we\u2019re very excited to further expand our journalism efforts by partnering with VICE Canada,\u201d said Anton Koschany, executive producer of <em>W5<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to blending our investigative strategies to tell compelling stories, exposing both outlets to new audiences. By coupling two strong investigative organizations and the talented journalists on our respective teams, we are producing quality, timely and valuable journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>W5\u00a0and\u00a0VICE Canada have agreed to a partnership to produce and air two documentaries in 2018 on the root causes and impact of Canada\u2019s opioid crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[486,2636],"class_list":["post-10765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-vice-canada","tag-w5","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>W5 &amp; VICE Canada Join Forces for Opioid Crisis Docs - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/w5-vice-canada-join-forces-for-opioid-crisis-docs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"W5 &amp; VICE Canada Join Forces for Opioid Crisis Docs - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"W5\u00a0and\u00a0VICE Canada have agreed to a partnership to produce and air two documentaries in 2018 on the root causes and impact of Canada\u2019s opioid crisis.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/w5-vice-canada-join-forces-for-opioid-crisis-docs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-12-19T16:20:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/w5-vice-canada-join-forces-for-opioid-crisis-docs\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/w5-vice-canada-join-forces-for-opioid-crisis-docs\/\",\"name\":\"W5 & VICE Canada Join Forces for Opioid Crisis Docs - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-12-19T16:20:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-12-19T16:20:13+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/w5-vice-canada-join-forces-for-opioid-crisis-docs\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/w5-vice-canada-join-forces-for-opioid-crisis-docs\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/w5-vice-canada-join-forces-for-opioid-crisis-docs\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"W5 &#038; VICE Canada Join Forces for Opioid Crisis Docs\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
