Join us at The Historic Artcraft Theatre as we view the documentary "The Addict's Wake." The film will be followed by a panel discussion on opioid addiction and recovery.

About the film:

The charming small towns and picturesque landscapes of Brown County, Indiana attract artists and seasonal tourists, but behind the scenes the community grapples with most widespread public health issue of our time. Nearly every family, classroom, and workplace in Brown County feels the devastating ripple effects of heroin, meth, and opioid addiction. From the second-by-second panic of overdose to the slower deaths of despair, the ramifications of addiction run deep in America.  In "The Addict’s Wake", one small, tight-knit community delivers piercing insight and critical perspective to an issue that impacts the nation.

Winner of the Indiana Spotlight Award at the 30th Anniversary Heartland International Film Festival in Indianapolis, "The Addict's Wake" has been featured at several other notable film festivals across the country. 

This event is free.

Special thanks to our partners, Upstream Prevention, CASA, Drug Free Johnson County for funding the screening through a grant, and for the Artcraft Theatre for hosting us.
