Wisconsin officials continue to grapple with heroin deaths

Heroin and opioid addictions -- and overdoses -- continue to plague Wisconsin and many other states. Public health officials and law enforcement agencies have been tackling the problem on a number of fronts.  The latest here in Wisconsin premiered Tuesday night.  It's a documentary produced by WisconsinEye, the state's equivalent to C-Span, and targets children.  

Attorney General Brad Schimel attended the first public screening, and talked about the movie and other campaigns.  He told Marti Mikkelson why such efforts are crucial. 

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
