Synopsis: The experience of dealing with addiction is hard to depict accurately, an all-encompassing force in not only the lives of the afflicted, but also those around them. OUR AMERICAN FAMILY provides an honest, unfiltered look into the world of addiction, following a close-knit Philadelphia family dealing with generational substance abuse. Captured at a pivotal, “nothing to lose” moment, we watch each of the five family members struggle to transcend their crippling histories. What will it take to shift this entrenched, wrenching pattern in their lives? How will they each free themselves from their interlocking fates? Will they be able to make significant shifts to help the next generation? The members of OUR AMERICAN FAMILY invite us into their lives to find hope and explore what’s possible. Though they often falter, their familial loyalty is powerful, demonstrating how through love and dedication we can pull each other out of the deepest of depths. For a touching, eye-opening look into one of America's most pressing crises, look no further.
