I had the out of the ordinary privilege last weekend of attending an early screening of a brand contemporary 55-minute documentary entitled “The Lengthy Road Dwelling: The Money Family’s Untold Memoir.” The documentary, which changed into once produced by Oxvision Media (and Cindy Money), working with the Money family, tells the tragic fable of how drug addiction has ravaged generations of the Money family.
On the screening, Imprint Money (Johnny Money’s nephew and the son of Tommy Money who had his have country hits), defined, “Addiction runs via my family luxuriate in a fireplace.” The documentary tells the fable of the Money family’s multi-generational fight with drug and alcohol addiction.
Imprint declared, “If this documentary can serve one particular person assume there might perhaps be gentle at the pause of the tunnel, then we’ve carried out our job. There is hope.”
“The Lengthy Road Dwelling” changed into once screened at the “Storytellers Museum,” situated adjacent to Johnny Money’s dilapidated farm retreat in Bon Aqua, a suburb of Nashville.
Nine members of the Money family seem in the film, including Johnny Money’s daughter Cindy. The Money relatives are admirably delivery and frank about how rather quite loads of addictions have devastated their lives. Truly, the film is devoted to Imprint’s sister, Paula, who died from cirrhosis of the liver ten days after the film changed into once accomplished.
The Money family participated in this very internal most documentary in the hope that it might perhaps perhaps probably well even be frail to wrestle the epidemic of drug abuse in The USA by providing each a warning and a hope. They’re rather delivery referring to the internal most and family devastation addiction visits on families as well to the incontrovertible truth that restoration is achievable.
The documentary additionally aspects out that members who grow up in families which might perhaps perhaps well even be battling addictions are eight times more vulnerable to fall into addictive behaviors themselves.
Make no mistake about it. The USA is in the course of an existential crisis of drug and alcohol abuse. Tens of thousands of People are dying each twelve months from capsules and addiction behavior, and tens of thousands more are having their lives stifled, stunted, and sidetracked by rather quite loads of drug and alcohol addictions.
Several representatives of authorities-funded entities that wrestle addictive behaviors had been most as much as date for the documentary’s screening and had been thinking how “The Lengthy Road Dwelling” would be frail each in prevention and in therapy of addictions.
Given the depth and breadth of the addiction arena in the U.S., we would favor the full tools we can muster to wrestle this negative plague each with therapy and prevention. “The Lengthy Road Dwelling” is only this kind of application and my hope and prayer is that this might perhaps perhaps well also be frail widely each in therapy services and products and prevention programs.
The Money family is to be recommended for his or her transparency and dedication. The viewers who shared the screening with me changed into once deeply moved by “The Lengthy Road Dwelling.” I pray God will employ it vastly in salvaging and rebuilding lives and in combating other folks from falling into the clutches of addiction.
