Lindstromâs powerful documentary takes an unflinching look at the daunting difficulties in overcoming addictions and the dynamic within Portlandâs Central City Concernâs recovery mentor program. With a 70% success rate, the programâs strength lies in its ability to promote a strong sense of community and connectedness with peers and mentors, all former addicts committed to helping others as they help themselves. âThe film is raw and real, filled with undeniable moments of pain and elation and human personality. Itâs impossible to imagine a more honest look at this all-too-common world.ââShawn Levy, The Oregonian.
