Exploited™
by With Paul Martin - Paulosophia Productions
Every one of these deaths is a transaction. Somebody got paid. Exploited is a series about the intersection of addiction and organized crime — a global illicit drug trade worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year, built on a core relationship between those who can't simply quit and those who don't want them to. Two forces meet here. One lives in the shadowy world of greed, crime, power, and corruption: the chemists, the cartels, the smugglers, the digital dealers. The exploiters. The other navigates family trauma, poverty, peer pressure, the social media age, and the pull substances that rewrite the brain: the exploited. Host Paul Martin, founder of United Against Fentanyl, sits down with insiders who understand both — people in recovery and people who have buried their children, and the agents, scientists, reporters, and former players who know how the machine runs. Raw testimonies. Hidden realities. Fentanyl is where Exploited
