In May, the two producers premiered the documentary, “Neuqua on Drugs” at the 95th Street Library. Since then, they not only raised awareness about the issue, but also launched and successfully funded a Kickstarter project in order to put the documentary onto DVD. 

With $6,677 raised, the DVD is now available for purchase on the documentary's website.

Copies of the DVD will also be available for purchase on the night of the screening.
