Greg D. Williams: Using Film to Ignite Youth Recovery Conversations

I needed something to push me, to move me, to motivate it, to motivate me, I needed something to transform this pain that I was carrying into some type of hopeful action for the future, and I believe that the documentary genre is one of the best ways to do that.
Picture this: a filmmaker who turns the raw, often painful stories of addiction into powerful narratives that inspire change. In this episode of 'A Way Through', Sasha Coles sits down with Greg D. Williams, a passionate advocate for youth addiction recovery. Greg's journey is one of transforming personal struggles into compelling films that shine a light on the path to recovery.
As the mind behind 'The Anonymous People' and 'Generation Found', Greg discusses how independent film can be a catalyst for positive change in communities. He shares his insights on why starting conversations about adolescent recovery is crucial and how storytelling can bridge gaps and foster understanding. If you're interested in how creative mediums like film can drive social change and support youth in recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
