We are thrilled to announce the Third Annual New England REEL Recovery Film Festival, taking place on Saturday, May 2nd at the Gracie Theatre at Husson University in Bangor, Maine!This mission-driven event uses the power of film and storytelling to elevate lived experiences, reduce stigma, and deepen public understanding of substance use disorder and recovery.
The festival brings together community members, service providers, advocates, and organizations who share a commitment to creating compassionate, informed responses to substance use disorder in Maine and beyond. Through carefully selected films and meaningful conversation, REEL Recovery creates space for awareness, connection, and hope.
This year, our goal is to raise $50,000 for the MARR Bed Sponsorship Fund (BSF), a critical program that helps remove financial barriers to recovery housing. The BSF provides low-barrier access to participating MARR-certified recovery residences for individuals ready to take the next step in their recovery journey but without the financial means to do so.
Join the greater Maine & New England community, deepen understanding of substance use disorder, and be part of a movement that replaces stigma with compassion and hope.
Your presence helps amplify recovery stories and directly supports pathways to safe, stable recovery housing for those who need it most!!
