The addiction crisis in America has reached a new boiling point, and courageous people – at all levels, from all walks of life – are rising to answer the call. Tipping The Pain Scale is a 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.
With more than 100,000 overdoses in just the last 12-months, Tipping the Pain Scale, is a great way to catalyze a dialog on issues surrounding addiction and our collective response to this pandemic in your community. To help drive purposeful and meaningful conversations, the film will be exclusively available to educational and theatrical screenings upon release in 2022. Gathr Films & High Watch Media have teamed with Vivifi Films to screen this film in all types of environments and within budgets of all sizes.
