A 30-minute documentary film from ThinkTV tells the story of Roger and his family as they struggle to overcome the devastation of addiction. Faced with overwhelmed and underfunded rural support services, Roger and others in his town began reaching out to addicts and their families. Today this patchwork coalition includes a progressive judge, a concerned family physician and faith-based leaders-- all working to save their community-- one person at a time. But destigmatizing addiction, especially in conservative rural communities, is a rough road to travel. For many, that journey began with 20 seconds of courage.
