Igniting Compassion (2023 Documentary)

The importance of igniting compassion for people impacted by the opioid crisis has never been greater. Featuring people in recovery and clinicians in Cleveland, Ohio, this documentary is an opportunity to hear directly from those experiencing and treating substance use disorders (SUDs). Through storytelling, the film seeks to dismantle medical stigma associated with substance use and encourages critical conversations and creative solutions needed to mitigate the ongoing epidemic.
