Addiction is an all-encompassing force not only in the lives of the afflicted but also those around them. Captured at a pivotal 鈥渘othing to lose鈥� moment over the course of a year, OUR AMERICAN FAMILY is a radically honest portrait of five family members grappling with the legacy of generational addiction as they fight to heal resentments and pull each other out of the deepest depths.听

OUR AMERICAN FAMILY (1 hour, 27 minutes) is a Twin Seas Media Production directed by Hallee Adelman (THE SOCIAL DILEMMA, WRITING WITH FIRE, US KIDS) and Sean King O-Grady.听

Due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter, this event is recommended for individuals aged 16 and above.听听
