International Overdose Awareness Day Event: Silence on the Streets Documentary
We are excited to announce the upcoming screening of the documentary "Silence on the Streets" at the Stratford Library on August 28, 2024 at 2:00 pm. This powerful film sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals struggling with addiction and aims to raise awareness and promote understanding. "Silence on the Streets" is a ground-breaking documentary that explores the journey of addiction through the perspective of inner-city minorities and Native Americans.
