We kind of have to get together as a society and as a group of people, and especially those of us who are recovering from it, because we're there to show people you can recover from it, because it is possible.
What happens when a filmmaker tackles the raw reality of the opioid crisis? In this episode of 'Radio Rehab with Dayna Keyes', Dayna sits down with Spencer Folmar, the director behind the gripping new film, 'Shooting Heroin'. This powerful movie, featuring stars like Sherilyn Fenn and Cathy Moriarty, dives deep into the devastating impact of heroin on small-town America.
Folmar shares his motivation for creating a film that doesn’t shy away from the harsh truths of addiction and the lengths a community might go to eradicate it. Dayna, drawing from her own journey in recovery, praises the film for its unflinching portrayal of drug use without falling into sensationalism.
The conversation sheds light on how even the smallest towns are not immune to the opioid epidemic, with Folmar recounting stories from his own hometown where addiction has left a profound mark. They discuss the critical need for harm reduction strategies and the role media can play in raising awareness and fostering understanding. But it’s not all grim. Both Dayna and Spencer emphasize the message of hope that underpins their work.
Folmar passionately believes in the power of recovery and the importance of showing that it is possible to overcome addiction. His words resonate deeply: 'We kind of have to get together as a society and as a group of people, especially those of us who are recovering, because we're there to show people you can recover from it, because it is possible'.
Tune in to hear this heartfelt discussion that not only highlights the challenges but also celebrates the resilience of those fighting against addiction.
