Why This Documentary Matters
Fentanyl and pharmaceutical addiction is an epidemic with noboundaries — it affects every class, every race, and every family. Erynnerepresents the people society does not expect to see struggle, which makes herstory even more urgent.
If someone with every resource can fall this far, what hopeis left for those without support?
This film challenges a broken recovery system and offers anew path built on movement, purpose, and radical honesty — captured in realtime.
"Change starts where comfort stops. When you face the truth and move through the pain, you discover who you really are. My sister-in-law found that in the deserts of Jordan."
-Jamie
