Actress and writer Florencia Lozano will join me in The Locher Room to discuss her most recent film project, Life After You. Florencia made her television debut as Tea Delgado on ABC’s One Life to Live in January of 1997 and brought her character over to General Hospital in May of 2012.

Life After You centers around a suburban family's struggle with the death of their 19-year-old son, following an overdose of heroin that was laced with fentanyl. The movie explores the questions of who and what is responsible for this tragedy and follows their journey to answer these questions as their family unravels from grief, guilt, and anger. The film is inspired by the book, “Life After You: What Your Death From Drugs Leaves Behind” by Linda Lajterman.

Florencia Lozano, along with Sarah T. Schwab, wrote the screenplay to shine a light on the opioid crisis that is on the rise in our country and killing so many individuals. In 2019, nearly 50,000 people in the U.S. died from opioid-involved overdoses.

Come catch up with Florencia to hear about this important and timely project in The Locher Room on May 13th.
