A Screening of Recovery City

This is a FREE event.  HELP US BREAK THE STIGMA!!

 

Recovery City is a raw exploration of what it means to be in recovery as seen through the eyes of four women whose lives share a common thread: addiction.

In the working class city of Worcester, Massachusetts, Christine fights to regain custody of her young children while grappling with a traumatic past, and battling stigma from the very systems that are designed to help her. Bridget, who found recovery while in prison, now facilitates peer-led support meetings for women. On the frontlines, recovery coaches Janis and Rebecca navigate the city’s toughest corners offering support and trying to save lives. In this portrait of resilience, grit, and camaraderie, the women use their lived experience to lift up those still struggling while refusing to give up hope.

This is a trailer: Recovery City – Official Trailer on Vimeo and we will be having the director and the women involved as panelists after the program. The trailer is incredibly moving.

This has been a collaborative effort between the Health Department, SSPARC (Sharon Substance Prevention and Resource Coalition) and HUGS (Help Us Get Safe- our local DV coalition) utilizing some of our opioid abatement funding.
