TIPPING THE PAIN SCALE

Movie Screening & Panel

Madras Cinema 5

6:30pm on April 18th, 2024

SriPonya Collective is screening the documentary, Tipping the Pain Scale, at the  Madras Cinema 5 on Thursday, April 18th at 630pm.  Doors open at 6pm.  The addiction crisis in America has reached a new boiling point, and courageous people – at all levels, from all walks of life – are rising to answer the call. Tipping The Pain Scale is a feature documentary film following individuals grappling with the current systemic failures of how we have dealt with addiction in communities and their journey to develop and employ new, innovative, 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.

Free Movie, Popcorn & Drink
