Written and hosted by documentary filmmaker Lana Lovell, "Facing Addiction" features six episodes. Framed around the grim realities of drug use, the episodes contemplate community, understanding, and the value of helping those who have become isolated as they struggle with trauma.
Set and produced in Toronto, Canada, each episode builds on the cultures and attitudes that contribute to substance abuse differences in the Black community.
The podcast series features stories from people with lived, worked, and volunteered experience in the arena of harm reduction; among them are muralist Adrian Hayles, filmmaker Louis Taylor, harm reduction specialists Cassandra Smith and Colin Johnson. Harm reduction is an approach that tries to reduce the health and social harm associated with addiction and substance use.
