Uprooting Addiction

An urgent look at the national drug addiction crisis that is ravaging local communities, Uprooting Addiction follows six diverse people, each affected by childhood trauma, who candidly share their personal stories of addiction and recovery. Interweaving these stories with uplifting, up-to-the-minute accounts of collective action in the face of an unrelenting public health crisis – from an equally diverse group of activists, officials, volunteers, and experts – Uprooting Addiction is a mosaic-like portrait of a single community coming together to take on one of the most critical challenges of our time.
