Nick Shirley travels to Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles (Skid Row and MacArthur Park), and Kensington, Philadelphia to document the open-air fentanyl and homelessness crisis in major American cities. He interviews drug users, journalists, and a researcher developing an abuse-resistant opioid patch, while filming overdoses, open drug markets, and shuttered businesses.
Why it's not on the fraud stats: Street-level fentanyl/homelessness crisis documentary "" not a government-program fraud investigation.

All figures are as stated in the video — most are allegations, not adjudicated findings. Every dollar figure links to the timestamp where it is said. Extraction QA: The extraction is accurate and well-structured; both claims map to genuine transcript statements with correct figures, though the second claim's attribution to Gareth Sheridan is not clearly supported by the transcript. Entity reconstructions (Choe, Sheridan, Nutriband) are reasonable given ASR garbling, and the relevance assessment (street-crisis, not program fraud) is correct.
