Students at the University of Montana School of Journalism conceive, research, report, photograph, and edit a one-hour television documentary for MontanaPBS and other statewide outlets. This documentary presents an in-depth examination of an issue of importance in the state.

The 2017 documentary, "Montana Rx: Unintended Consequences," examines the state’s struggle with tackling the prescription drug abuse epidemic. The documentary is available for streaming on the MontanaPBS website.
