This documentary, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at SXSW, tells a maddening story of the drug rehab industrial complex, through which thousands of people pass every year. It is an enormously profitable industry but one that seems to have little therapeutic value in the long term. More than an issue film, this is also a white-knuckle portrait of some of the people who take the ride through rehab again and again for illegal kickbacks from the agents of the facilities. Free Member Monday — free admission for all AFS members on Monday, March 23, with director Benjamin Flaherty in attendance. An AFS-supported film.
