Cottonland In this feature-length documentary, photographer Nance
Ackerman describes the havoc prescription painkiller OxyContin,
wreaked in the already weakened Cape Breton town of Glace Bay. The
film guides us through a culture of economic and social depression
where we encounter a number of men and women at different stages of
dependency. Demystifying the world of the addict while showing us the
complex social nexus that led to such despair, Cottonland emphasizes
the importance of a collective approach to tackling addiction.
