Recovery City Documentary Screening and Q&A

PIER Recovery Center of Cape Cod will host a free screening of the award-winning documentary, Recovery City.

A raw exploration of what it means to be in recovery as seen through the eyes of four women whose lives share a common thread: addiction. 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 prison, oversees peer-led support meetings to uplift those still struggling. 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.

A Q&A with the director and the film's participants following the screening.
