From award-winning director Ondi Timoner, COMING CLEAN is a feature documentary examining addiction through the eyes of recovering addicts and political leaders, as they come together to bring the profiteers to justice and rebuild in the wake of the deadliest drug epidemic in our history. Timoner - whose directing credits include the Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning films DIG! and WE LIVE IN PUBLIC as well as MAPPLETHORPE starring Matt Smith - brings cinematic beauty and grace to this difficult subject, utilizing striking animation and offering hope and solutions to a seemingly insurmountable crisis.
COMING CLEAN will have a timely special national preview screening hosted by the Utah Film Festival on Saturday, October 10th through its Watch at Home program as well as a screening at the Midvale Drive-In. Press and the public located anywhere in the U.S. may access this special event by visiting utahfilmcenter.org/comingclean. A post-film Q&A with director Ondi Timoner, film participant/subject Congressman Ben McAdams, lead prosecutor Mike Moore and recovering addict Destiny Garcia, will moderated by NPR member station KUER's RadioWest host Doug Fabrizio. Rep. McAdams, who represents Salt Lake County, Utah and is facing a competitive election this November, shares his personal story and connection with recovering addict Destiny Garcia - who will also join the conversation. The film also features Mike Moore, lead prosecutor of the high-profile opioid lawsuits and a trial lawyer who took on big tobacco and BP Oil, securing huge settlements.Videos
