Meet four men whose lives intersect in a prison reentry and addiction recovery, creative writing program. Learn, from their own words, what led them to commit their crimes, and witness their stories during the most critical year determining their freedom and survival. Join us, with interviews and appearances by Mayor Marty Walsh, Congressman Joe Kennedy III, Sheriff Michael Bellotti, Professor Randall Horton, Dr. Bertha Madras of Trump's Commission on the Opiate Crisis, and many more. This film was created to amplify the unheard, disempowered, and often vilified populations in the drug crises -- the easiest targets caught in the most difficult cycles. Our hopes in sharing these stories were not only to inspire policy change and sentencing reform, but to promote public education regarding drug use and overdose prevention. Get to know the real people -- surprisingly relatable, sometimes terrifying, and too often heartbreaking -- who live silently behind today's headlines.
