Hide&Seek’s 2020 release Ten Dollar Death Trip: Inside The Fentanyl Crisis has Tx’d on Netflix, trending throughout Europe in its first week on the platform.
Under the terms of the license, the film will broadcast on the streamer for seven years across all European markets.
Kazz Basma, head of Sales & Acquisitions at Sideways Film (the sales and distribution partner for the film) said “we’re so proud of the impact that this inspirational and heartbreaking film is having on audiences worldwide. It has now been seen globally by millions and translated into numerous languages. Partnering with Netflix is the latest step in our efforts to have Ten Dollar Death Trip seen more widely and the issues it addresses given the attention they desperately need.”
The film’s Director, Dominic Streeter said “we’re blown away by the positive response we’ve received from the Netflix viewers, who have sent us hundreds of messages in the first couple of weeks on air.”
Ten Dollar Death Trip has already had more than 20 million views on other networks around the world, and Streeter hopes that with Netflix onboard the film can reach even more people.
“Of course Netflix are a streaming giant, with unmatched audience reach, so we hope that the might of their platform will bring this important topic to the attention of all who need to know about it. That includes policy makers around the world, who must react urgently to a toxic drug supply crisis which is needlessly claiming so many lives.”
