Pick Your Poison

The Eccles Library display of the National Library of Medicine Exhibit

Dying in Vein [Film]    

Tuesday, September 26, 2017, 7:00-9:00 PM

Location: Main Auditorium, Salt Lake City Public Library, 210 East 400 South, SLC

Post-film Q&A with director Jenny Mackenzie & film subjects, moderated by Doug Fabrizio

This latest film from Salt Lake City-based filmmaker Jenny Mackenzie is an intimate and deeply personal exploration of the opiate and heroin addiction crisis. The film follows two young women trying to get clean, a 22-year-old in recovery, a family grieving the loss of their son, and a team of ER doctors trying to save their patients. Through these four stories, the film explores the pill to heroin pipeline and the shame and blame that surrounds the disease of addiction. The film looks at the aftermath of the death of loved ones, the daily commitment to sobriety, the reality of considering treatment after multiple relapses, and the culpability of our medical communities in this crisis.   Screening presented as part of National Recovery Month.
