Synopsis -
Christine is struggling to regain custody of her four children. Bridget runs women’s support meetings at Everyday Miracles, a peer recovery support center. Recovery coaches, Janis and Rebecca work together to help get people off of the streets and into treatment.
This is a film about the hard work, the grit, and the camaraderie it takes to reclaim your life. Told through overlapping narratives, Recovery City is a film that humanizes recovery in a world that, consciously or not, stigmatizes the process.
In a time where we only hear about the ravages and tragedies of addiction, Recovery City offers something else entirely - hope.
