The 'This Is the Journey' short film by addiction recovery center Alo House focuses on speaking to viewers in a heartfelt and honest way to express the imperative nature of seeing the person within behind the addiction. Created by the Paradam agency, the short film focuses on speaking to those who are presently struggling with addiction and their families rather than addressing the topic for just the general public. This approach makes the film an artistic approach to awareness for some viewers, but is intended to strike a cord with those who are struggling with addiction in their life or by way of a loved one.
The 'This Is the Journey' short film from Alo House comes as a timely new video given the rising number of deaths amongst young people in the United States due to opioid use.
