A documentary that will be aired on HBO includes segments about methamphetamine use on two reservations in Montana.

One segment features Carl Venne, the chairman of the Crow Tribe and one of the advisors to the Montana Meth Project. Venne's son died in a meth-related car accident.

Another segment shows a young member of the Chippewa Cree Tribe who describes his battle with meth addiction. The portrayal upset state Rep. Jonathan Windy Boy, a member of the tribe who wants the segment removed.

The documentary airs in March. The Montana Meth Project gave state lawmakers a preview last week. Read More.
