A documentary film produced by The Forty Hour Club

A playwright and advocate breathes new life into a long-abandoned theater, creating a visual metaphor or recovery and rehabilitation for both the theater and those living in the shadow of the opiate crisis in the state capitol of Augusta, Maine.

In a blues opera cast directly from the recovery, reentry and unhoused community, playwright Michael Gorman and his "Phantoms" create an inspiring chorus of faces and voices that are often unseen and unheard to confront the bias and resisitance that can lead to the destructive power of stigma.
