Free film screening of 'Anonymous People' is Thursday in Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning Valley Organizing Collaborative, Mahoning County Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board and the Ohio Organizing Collaborative will host a free film screening of “Anonymous People” from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Christ Church Presbyterian, 1933 Canfield Road, to create meaningful dialogue around long-term recovery in the Mahoning Valley.

The film was released in March. It addresses the experiences of more than 23 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs.

This event is part of a continued effort by both the MVOC and OOC to drive the development and implementation of policies that encourage rehabilitation and treatment for local families touched by issues of addiction, which subsequently decreases crime, according to a MVOC press release.
