About the event
Inheritance: Addiction is Far More Complex Than the Devastation Wrought By A Drug - A Film’s Journey To Capture and Shine A Light on Intergenerational Trauma in Appalachia
Tuesday, Oct 8, 2024 - 1:30 PM - 3:00 PMSouthern Hemisphere I
A panel discussion on the complexity of addiction, mental health, and intergenerational trauma through the lived experience of Curtis. A critically acclaimed featured film subject of Inheritance, a new feature documentary film directed and produced by Matt Moyer and Amy Toensing. The discussion will build from film clips of Inheritance and be facilitated by Greg Williams, Executive Producer of High Watch Media and feature Judy Crane, author of The Trauma Heart who has over three decades of clinical experience in the field of trauma and substance use disorders.
Filmed over 11 years, INHERITANCE follows Curtis, a young boy, as he grows up in rural Appalachia in a family and community surrounded by substance use disorder and poverty.“Here was a troubled America, one where communities that bore the brunt of economic decline now faced inherited poverty, joblessness, abuse, addiction, and hopelessness.
At the core, it seemed, was a cycle of intergenerational trauma and mental health problems underlying America’s substance use disorder crisis.” – Director’s Statement
