Posted

Newport County Prevention Coalition proudly announces a film
screening of "Listen to the Silence: Women Lost in the Opioid Crisis" this coming Monday, March 11, an emotional and impactful documentary shedding light on the stories of women affected by the opioid epidemic.

This thought-provoking film brings to the forefront the untold narratives of women grappling with the devastating consequences of the opioid crisis. Listen to the Silence transcends traditional storytelling, weaving together personal accounts, expert insights, and a call to action that resonates with audiences on a profound level.

Produced and Directed by Debra Gonsher Vinik, Ph.D., a veteran documentarian and Emmy award recipient, this film delves deep into the lives of women from diverse backgrounds, exploring the challenges they face, the resilience they embody, and the impact of addiction on their families and communities. Through poignant interviews and powerful cinematography, the film invites viewers to confront the human side of the opioid crisis, fostering empathy and understanding.

The film screening event will be followed by a panel discussion featuring experts in addiction treatment, mental health, and community outreach. This interactive session aims to provide a platform for dialogue, encourage community involvement, and explore tangible solutions to combat the opioid crisis.

WHEN: Monday, March 11, at 7p.m.

WHERE: Jane Pickens Theater, 49 Touro St., Newport
