Description

“Tipping the Pain Scale”, the newest film by the team that brought us “The Anonymous People.” After its award-winning run at film festivals across the country, KCRC and WRA are honored to host one of the very first public screenings of Tipping The Pain Scale. Tipping The Pain Scale is an independent feature documentary film following individuals grappling with the current systemic failures of how we have dealt with addiction in communities, and their journey to develop and employ new, innovative, and often controversial solutions to the problem. It is a quasi-anthology, weaving characters through their own stories as they connect to the issues plaguing all communities and the country in an urgent fight to save lives. The event will include community resource tables, local dignitaries (Rep. Lauren Davis, Ricky Garcia and Ricky’s mother, from Ricky’s Law) who are featured in the film joining us for a Panel Discussion/Q&A directly following the screening, and the opportunity to connect with your recovery community. We are holding the screening at Seattle’s historic Egyptian Theater in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, close to many restaurants, coffee shops, bus lines, and the light rail. Doors open: 11:00am Film screens: 12:00pm Panel Discussion directly following the film. Masks must be worn while indoors except while in your seat.
