Film: SILENCE ON THE STREETS In-Person
The Health Department and Community Services partner with the Stratford Library to showcase the film "Silence on the Streets" leading up to International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31st.
Silence on the Streets
"Silence on the Streets" is a ground-breaking documentary that explores the journey of addiction through the perspective of inner-city minorities and Native Americans.
Award-winning Playwright Sharece Sellem skillfully intertwines personal narratives with expert insights from the fields of addiction, trauma, psychology, prevention, and harm reduction alongside individuals with firsthand experiences, uncovering the many factors that contribute to the distinct life experiences of black, brown, Latin X, and Native Americans, profoundly shaping their struggles with addiction throughout their lifetimes and their road to recovery.
