An event at the Moore Free Library in collaboration with West River Valley Thrives:
The Community Substance Use Response (CSUR) is hosting a free screening of Our American Family, followed by a discussion with members of the family featured in the film.
In 2021, more than 106,000 people in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose including illicit drugs and prescription opioids. It can be difficult to make sense of the true impact of this crisis that is all around us and to understand the human beings behind the numbers.
That is what filmmaker Hallee Adelman worked to do with her film, which will be shown at three locations in Windham County. Our American Family, which was co-directed with Sean King O'Grady, is a radically honest, raw and unfiltered portrait of a close-knit Philadelphia family fighting its greatest nemesis: generational addiction -without experts, drug use or melodrama.
For more information, please contact Justin Johnston at 802-257-5600 or jjohnston@turningpointwc.org.
This screening is made possible by funding from the Vermont Division of Substance Use.
This event is meant for adults. Thank you.
