Athens is well known for its large population of artists. Less frequently acknowledged is the suffering that many of these local creatives go through. Aaron Strand’s feature film Withdrawal, which was shot in Athens, shows these realities through an uncomfortable story of heroin withdrawal.
As WUGA’s Maya Iyer reports, Aaron’s award-winning film strikes a chord with the Athens community. Withdrawal sparks conversations not only about the horrors of addiction, but also about how to seek help.
