The Hungry Heart (Movie)

About 1000 people attended the premier of …

The Hungry Heart

(See the trailer for The Hungry Heart by clicking here)

The Hungry Heart is the new documentary film about prescription drug addiction produced by Kingdom County Productions. Ticket fees benefit the Turning Point Center and cover KCP’s tour expenses.

The Hungry Heart explores prescription drug addiction through the intimate world of Vermont Pediatrician Fred Holmes who works with patients struggling with this disease. The film provides an intimate look at the often hidden world of addiction and recovery and reveals the many challenges that Dr. Holmes and his patients face in confronting a relentless and difficult disease.Picture of Pediatrician Fred Holmes and Dustin

As the film progresses we begin to see the simple but profound connection that Dr. Holmes creates with each patient. For many of the young people in the movie, coming to Fred is less about getting a prescription for their addiction and more about connecting with a mentor who listens to them—if only for ten minutes a week. The film shines a light on the healing power of conversation and the need for connection that many of these young addicts yearn for but do not have in their lives.

In addition, the film interviews a number of older addicts who talk about their recovery process juxtaposed against Fred’s patients. The road to recovery is paved with both success stories and strewn with relapses, downfalls and tragic losses. However, through the movie we see the many faces and diverse populations of addiction, and their continued search for a life of recovery.

Film running time 93 minutes
Directed and produced by Bess O’Brien
