A personal documentary and intimate portrait of how survivors recover, This is Me Loving You charts the intersection of pregnancy, abuse and addiction as documented by two women in recovery. The film begins when Sydney, a gregarious heroin user, moves into a Chicago recovery home and befriends Julia, an alcoholic filmmaker–and the film’s Director. When Sydney gets pregnant and returns to her abusive boyfriend, both women re-enter a world of abuse and addiction where they must choose between protecting those they love and saving themselves—all during an historic overdose crisis.
This is Me Loving You uses first-person storytelling to help audiences understand addiction within the context of trauma and show how harm reduction at both a policy and interpersonal level can lead to lifesaving outcomes.
Presenters: Dr. Ruchi Fitzgerald, Julia Hunter, & Sydney
*Trigger Warning: The webinar will show a short film. Both the short film and the panel discussion will show/discuss intimate partner violence.*
