A SHORT FILM ON THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH & FAMILY ON THE JOURNEY TO SOBRIETY

The far-reaching effects of addiction are ripping through communities across the country. In his new film What About the Kids? writer and director Jim Wahlberg gives us a poignant look into the true cost of this epidemic through the eyes of Chloe, an 8-year-old girl whose parents are addicted to opioids. Informed by his own battle with addiction, Wahlberg’s film is a touching narrative that illuminates the importance of faith and family on the journey to sobriety.

1 in 12 Americans struggles with a substance use disorder, and each year an estimated 47,500 people die from opioid overdoses. These numbers represent an epidemic of brokenness that has impacted millions of lives, leaving families searching for help and hope.

“For years, drug addiction has destroyed marriages, robbed children of their parents, made our neighborhoods dangerous and so far killed more people in our country than COVID-19.”

— Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski, Archdiocese of Miami
