Westhampton Beach - The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will screen Justice Productions filmmakers
Jacqui Lofaro and
Victor Teich's gripping documentary, "The Last Fix: An Addict's Passage from Hell to Hope" on Saturday, April 24 at 1 p.m. The screening is free and open to the public. A Q&A with the filmmakers follows the screening.
"The Last Fix: An Addict's Passage from Hell to Hope," premiered at the Hamptons Take Two Film Festival in 2009 and is a compelling journey spotlighting drug offenders who opt for a tough and pioneering drug court on the East End of Long Island rather than prison.
Three stories tell of drug ravaged addicts thrown a lifeline out of crime and jail into treatment and recovery. The film reveals an intimate look at addiction, the failing war on drugs, addicts fighting to stay clean and an alternative court that offers treatment over punishment. Does this seismic shift in the justice system work? See it play out in real-life struggles from hell to hope.
