Touching and Inspiring, RECOVERY CITY offers a raw exploration of addiction and recovery as seen through the eyes of four women in the working class city of Worcester, Massachusetts. Christine fights to regain custody of her children while grappling with a traumatic past and battling stigma. Bridget, who found recovery while in prison, now facilitates peer-led support meetings for women. On the frontlines, recovery coaches Janis and Rebecca navigate the city’s toughest corners offering support and trying to save lives. Director Lisa Olivieri’s moving portrait is one of resilience, grit, and camaraderie, about the women who channel their lived experience to lift up those still struggling—all while refusing to give up hope.
