Ridgefield Playhouse Screening of Generation Found TONIGHT

Wednesday night's movie screening of "Generation Found", a free community event, has been rescheduled for May 2, 7pm. 

"Both the Ridgefield Playhouse and the films' directors felt this was best given today's predicted snowfall and likely low viewer turnout on the day following such a storm," explains Suzanne Brennan, Director, Community Relations at Ridgefield Playhouse.

As part of the HamletHub Whole New You Series and the Hearst Media Entertaining Conversation Series, the creators of the groundbreaking film, THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE, bring you GENERATION FOUND; a powerful story about one community coming together to ignite a youth addiction recovery revolution in their hometown. Devastated by an epidemic of addiction, Houston faced the reality of burying and locking up its young people at an alarming rate. And so in one of the largest cities in America, visionary counselors, law school dropouts, aspiring rock musicians, retired football players, oil industry executives, and church leaders came together to build the world’s largest peer-driven youth and family recovery community; providing a real and tested long-term alternative to the “War on Drugs.” It is not only a deeply personal story, but one with real-world utility for communities struggling with addiction worldwide.

Q&A with producer and Emmy award winning filmmaker Jeff Reilly,  award-winning documentary filmmaker Greg Williams, Liz Jorgensen, CADC and Director of Insight Counseling, Ridgefield, Carter Barnhart, Director of Continuing Care and Referral Relations, Newport Academy and Aaron Krasner, MD, Adolescent Transitional Living Program Service Chief,  Silver Hill Hospital.

This screening has been made possible by Newport Academy, Insight Counseling LLC, Silver Hill Hospital, Ridgefield Prevention Council, and Reliance Merchant Services.
