Children of Apathy: Addiction in the Promised Land 30 min
"Children of Apathy" explores the ongoing opiate crisis; examining its many causes through a hyper-local lens in central and western Massachusetts. Its characters grapple with the echo of national policies and profit-before-people economics, the inertia of which ripples through daily life.
It is this comfort in crisis by which communities live and die. In the face of global pandemic and civil upheaval, the film asks, "Is surviving actually living?"
