Small Town Strong

Storyline

Realizing no one is coming to save them from a growing opioid crisis, the people of Portsmouth Ohio, led by Army veteran Dale King, band together to create real change in their small Appalachian town. Their strategy is unorthodox. They take on fentanyl, the most lethal drug on the planet, through fitness. Fueled by the energy and community of Dale's gym, we follow the town's comeback through the lens of one woman's recovery. Small Town Strong is a story that's evolved over 4 years.
