About the Film
More Than a Story- A Call to action.
Through the voices of family, friends, educators, law enforcement, and young people, What We Wish We Knew explores the realities of fentanyl, the importance of prevention, and the power of community. Miles’ story is deeply personal, but the message is universal: young lives matter, and open conversations can save lives.
