THE GIRL NEXT DOOR (2018) - 22 minutes

Heroin is the dark underbelly of Ocean County. While making up less than 7% of the state’s population, the county has the dubious honor of being home to the second most drug overdose deaths in New Jersey. This short documentary film explores the drug epidemic facing our community from the unique perspective of a neighbor who recently lost her childhood friend to a heroin overdose. 

Directed and Edited by Mark Clauburg
