Dive into the heart of America’s opioid epidemic with an exclusive screening of “Inheritance,” a compelling new documentary that traces the roots of addiction through the lens of one boy’s journey and his family’s struggle over four generations.Filmed over 11 years, “Inheritance” takes us deep into the heart of Curtis, a bright and hopeful boy in rural Appalachia, surrounded by love and struggle while every adult in his family – parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins – battles addiction.
Curtis’ America is an America where people and communities are struggling with an epidemic of substance use disorder, joblessness, and a deteriorating sense of belonging.
Join us after the screening as we engage in an insightful discussion with Matt Moyer, the director of “Inheritance,” and Curtis himself. Gain deeper perspectives on the topics discussed in the film and the personal experiences behind this impactful story.
This event is free and open to the public. A reception will conclude the evening and provide an opportunity to continue the conversation with fellow attendees and the filmmakers. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and programming will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m. The film’s runtime is 1hr 29min.
“Inheritance” is proudly brought to you by the Center for Child and Family Policy at Duke University, which is celebrating 25 years of improving the well-being of children and families through research, education, and engagement. Co-sponsored by the Duke Center for Documentary Studies.
