Inheritance

FREE COMMUNITY SCREENING

Inheritance takes an unfiltered look at one Appalachian family’s struggle with generational addiction by exploring the underlying causes of the opioid epidemic in America through the life of one boy and five generations of his extended family. Curtis, a bright and hopeful 12 year-old, grows up surrounded by love and struggle while every adult in his family — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins — battle addiction. Curtis’s America is a country where people and communities are struggling with an epidemic of substance use disorder, joblessness, poverty, and a deteriorating sense of belonging. The film premiered at the 2024 Slamdance Film Festival in Park City and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary Feature.
