For Women's History Month, Root Center for Advanced Recovery is hosting a screening and q&a session for Recovery City, a new documentary!
About this Event

In honor of Women's History Month, Root Center for Advanced Recovery is proud to present a private screening of a new documentary, Recovery City, a film by Lisa Olivieri.

This film features an intimate, unflinching portrait of four bold women who refuse to let themselves or their community give in to the stigma and despair of addiction. Join us to watch this raw exploration of what it means to be in recovery as seen through the eyes of four women whose lives share a common thread: substance use disorder. In the working class city of Worcester, Massachusetts, Christine fights to regain custody of her young children while grappling with a traumatic past, and battling stigma from the very systems that are designed to help her. Bridget, who found recovery while in Pr*son, now facilitates peer-led support meetings for women. On the frontlines, recovery coaches Janis and Rebecca navigate the city’s toughest corners offering support and trying to save lives. In this portrait of resilience, grit, and camaraderie, the women use their lived experience to lift up those still struggling while refusing to give up hope.

Following the screening, there will be an opportunity to speak with the Director and several of the women featured in the film in a Q&A Session.


*Snow Date- March 25th.
