​

We will send some of the filmmakers and Mother of Mercy House staff to introduce the movie and host a Q&A afterward.

 

We will bring this film into any space your community can offer no matter the quality of your technology. This story is that important to us.

​

We have two versions of this film: a 1 hour 11 minute director's cut and a 45 minute theatrical cut.

 

We recommend the director's cut to get the deepest look into the reality of this crisis.

 

We recommend the theatrical cut (a PG-13 equivalent) for younger audiences who need a film that is a little less difficult to watch (younger high school audiences).

 

This director's cut has mild profanity and more visuals of fentanyl wounds. The theatrical cut has no profanity and less visuals of wounds. There is no sexual content or violence in either version.

​

We will share a temporary password to each version of below for a leader in your community to preview the film.

​

Dan Tarrant, the director of the film and a national Catholic speaker is willing to attend every screening and speak on behalf the Mother of Mercy House community.

​

Dianne Hoffman, the executive director of Mother of Mercy House, is also willing to attend.
