"Many of my books are personal explorations that help me understand and lay claim to my life; where I’ve been and where I’m going. 虽然非常私人化, my work deals with universal themes of love, loss and the need to look honestly and openly at ourselves and our world.——盖尔·沃森

匿名者 Documentary Screening
Event is free and open to the public, DU students, faculty, and staff.
“Deeply entrenched social stigma have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The vacuum created by this silence has been filled by sensational mass media depictions of addiction that continue to perpetuate a lurid public fascination with the dysfunctional side of what is a preventable and treatable health condition. Just like women with breast cancer, 或艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者, a grass roots social justice movement is emerging. Courageous addiction recovery advocates have come out of the shadows and are organizing to end discrimination and move toward recovery-based solutions. The moving story of 匿名者 is told through the faces and voices of the citizens, 领导人, 志愿者, 企业高管, and public figures who are laying it all on the line to save the lives of others just like them. This passionate new public recovery movement is fueling a changing conversation that aims to transform public opinion, and finally shift problematic policy toward lasting solutions.——格雷格·威廉姆斯
This is companion programming for the INTO LIGHT Colorado Project Exhibition and was organized by the Collegiate Recovery Program and the 大学图书馆.
We look forward to your presence at the screening.

提供午餐.
Quinones weaves together two tales of American capitalism: The stories of young men in Mexico, independent of the drug cartels, in search of their own American Dream via the fast and enormous profits of trafficking cheap black-tar heroin to America's rural and suburban addicts; and that of Purdue Pharma in Stamford, 康涅狄格, determined to corner the market on pain with its new and expensive miracle drug, Oxycontin; extremely addictive in its own right. Quinones illuminates just how these two stories fit together as cause and effect: hooked on costly Oxycontin, American addicts were lured to much cheaper black tar heroin and its powerful and dangerous long-lasting high. Embroiled alongside the suppliers and buyers are DEA agents, local, small-town sheriffs, and the U.S. attorney from eastern Virginia whose case against Purdue Pharma and Oxycontin made him an enemy of the Bush-era Justice Department, ultimately stalling and destroying his career in public service.
