Oceana, West Virginia—known as "Oxyana" after its residents' epidemic abuse of OxyContin—is a tragically real example of the insidious spread of drug dependency throughout the country. Set against an abandoned coal mining landscape to the melodies of Deer Tick's haunting score, this unflinchingly intimate documentary probes the lives of Oceana's afflicted and exposes the day-to-day experience of a town living in the harsh grip of addiction.
Oxyana has generally received positive reviews.
