We spent 24 hours at San Francisco’s worst drug corner. Filming this story took creativity, late nights and early mornings, and probably a year off my life when two dealers spotted me watching them. See what I captured below.

San Francisco is on track to set a record for fatal drug overdoses this year, and the intersection of Seventh and Market Streets at U.N. Plaza has become an epicenter of the drug crisis—and a physical representation of the political battles playing out at City Hall. (1/12)

Black men born from 1951 to 1970 have represented 12% of all overdose deaths in SF in the past four years, but are less than 1% of the population. That makes them 32 times more likely to die of an overdose than the average American. @sfstandard sfstandard.com/2024/12/20/sa…

The number two headliner was two world champion female boxers slugging their hearts out, and the end we get this travesty. I’d be so embarrassed if I was in this fight.
