INHERITANCE

Curtis, a bright and hopeful 12 year-old, grows up surrounded by love and struggle while every adult in his family – parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins – battle addiction. Curtis’s America is a country where people and communities are struggling with an epidemic of substance use disorder, joblessness, poverty, and a deteriorating sense of belonging.

Within this very personal story is an illuminating example of the cycle of intergenerational trauma and mental health problems that underlies America’s substance use disorder crisis. Can Curtis break the cycle of addiction that has plagued his family for generations?
