Why does this story need to be told? 

- Ruth and her community feel invalidated and hopeless amidst the opioid crises and this documentary is a way for them to heal through expression and story-telling and honour those they have lost. 

-The more stories we tell about people living with addiction, the less stigma and demonization

-Poverty, homelessness and drug addiction are systemic
