Join Olympic College, Washington Recovery Alliance, Salish Recovery Coalition, and the Kitsap Public Health District for our free film screening of Tipping the Pain Scale!Tipping The Pain Scale follows individuals grappling with the current systemic failures of how we have dealt with addiction in communities and their journey to develop and employ new, innovative, and often controversial solutions to the problem. It is a quasi-anthology, weaving characters through their own stories as they connect to the issues plaguing all communities and the country in an urgent fight to save lives. It is a positive and uplifting, yet gritty and real, story of redemption and hope in cinema verité style.
The film features Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, NFL Pro Bowl Player Darren Waller, Spoken Word Artist and Educator Joseph Green, Washington State Representative Lauren Davis, Community Outreach Volunteer Roz Pichardo, Boston Police Officer Josh De La Rosa, and an original score from Grammy award-winner, Brendan Berry, as well as featuring music from Sia.
The event will include community resource tables, free food, special guests including Rep. Tara Simmons, Rep. Greg Nance, and Rep. Lauren Davis (featured in the film) joining us for a Panel Discussion/Q&A directly following the screening, and the opportunity to connect with your recovery community. All donations collected will go towards supporting the Washington Recovery Alliance and Salish Recovery Coalition.
Doors open: 5:00pm
Film screens: 6:15pm
Panel Discussion directly following the film.
