Wisconsin Addiction Documentary Screened at Crossroads May 1

The Door County Alcohol and other Drug Coalition has partnered with Door County Human Services and the Door County Mental Health Focus Group for a free screening of Written Off. This Wisconsin-based documentary is a unique look at one man’s struggle with addiction, told in first person. It will be shown May 1 at Crossroads at Big Creek followed by a panel discussion with addiction experts from Door County. This free event will include dinner, film screening, and panel discussion. Food and beverages will be provided. The event begins at 5:30 pm.

In 2016 more Americans died from overdoses than in the entire Vietnam War conflict, and yet those new casualties are rarely considered victims of disease.  With the support of Rep. Ann Kuster, (D-NH), Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, the documentary film Written Off challenges conventional thinking about addiction.
