Armstrong and Showtime are partnering to offer “The Trade,” a five-part documentary series about the opioid epidemic free to nonsubscribers.

The documentary will be available on the Armstrong On Demand platform to all video customers. This is the first time in Showtime history that it has provided a full series free to nonsubscribers.

“Some of the communities that Armstrong serves are among the most affected areas in the country,” said Dave Wittmann, vice president of marketing, “We felt it was part of our responsibility to help share this with all of our customers.”

Directed by Matthew Heineman, “The Trade” delves into the story of those affected by the opioid crisis.

“This is happening in our backyard. It is important that we help to share this powerful story,” Wittmann said.

To view the series, access the Armstrong On Demand library, select the Free Programs folder and find the series under Showtime Freeview.

Information about the documentary is available on Armstrong’s blog at FollowTheWire.com.
