The film shows that addiction is not just about substance abuse, but also about the underlying traumas that lead to substance abuse.
What happens when you combine compelling storytelling with the raw realities of addiction? In this episode of 'The Rehab', the spotlight is on the film 'Two Cents From a Pariah'. The host sits down with lead actor Jeffrey Grover, lead actress Cortney Palm, and the film’s writer and director, Chris Carson Emmons, to dive into how the movie tackles the complex themes of addiction, trauma, and healing.
Jeffrey Grover, known for his roles in 'Dark Waters' and 'I Feel Pretty', alongside Cortney Palm of 'Zombeavers' fame, share their experiences bringing these heavy topics to life on screen. Chris Carson Emmons adds depth by explaining his vision behind the film and how it seeks to portray addiction not just as substance abuse but as a symptom of deeper, often unspoken traumas.
This conversation isn't just about the film's narrative; it also explores various recovery approaches depicted in the movie, such as motivational speakers, therapy, and step programs. The guests candidly discuss the hurdles faced during recovery, including societal stigmas and the arduous journey of overcoming past traumas. One key takeaway? Recovery is deeply personal, and what works for one person might not work for another. This episode encourages a more compassionate and understanding perspective towards those battling addiction.
It’s an eye-opener for anyone interested in how art can influence and reflect real-life struggles. So, if you're curious about how films can shed light on addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
