Armstrong-Indiana-Clarion Drug and Alcohol Commission to Host a Community Screening of the Award-Winning Feature Documentary Film, Tipping the Pain Scale
Armstrong-Indiana-Clarion Drug and Alcohol Commission is partnering with AMC Movie Theater to host a film screening of Tipping the Pain Scale, highlighting the innovative solutions and change agents in the addiction and recovery world making a difference across the country. The screening and panel discussion will take place at AMC Movie Theater in the Clarion Mall on April 22, 2023, at 2:00 PM.
Tipping The Pain Scale follows six individuals grappling with the current systemic failures of how we have dealt with addiction in communities and their journey to develop and employ new, and often controversial solutions to the problem. It is a quasi-anthology, weaving characters through their own stories as they connect to the issues plaguing all communities and the country in an urgent fight to save lives. It is a positive and uplifting, yet gritty and real story of redemption and hope in cinema verité style.
The film features Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, NFL Pro Bowl Player Darren Waller, Spoken Word Artist, and Educator Joseph Green, Washington State Representative Lauren Davis, Community Outreach Volunteer Roz Pichardo, Boston Police Officer Josh De La Rosa. Tipping The Pain Scale is produced by filmmakers Greg Williams and Jeff Reilly, co-creators of the groundbreaking addiction films, THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE and GENERATION FOUND, and Executive Produced by Tim Grant. The film features an original score from Grammy award-winner, Brendan Berry, as well as featuring music from Sia.
“Solving the complex addiction crisis in communities requires diverse sectors of society to come together,” said Greg Williams, the film’s producer. “Tipping The Pain Scale is a solution-oriented story that doesn’t spend much time talking about the problem, but where do go from here, and what can we all do to play a role in turning the tide on this often-forgotten pandemic impacting more than 40 million Americans and their families directly."
