Film documents addiction and recovery on Marthaâs Vineyard
âOn Islandâ sheds light on substance use disorder, and offers message of hope for those struggling.
The documentary film On Island uses individual stories of addiction and recovery to illustrate just how prevalent substance use disorder is in our community.
Although the seasonal resort destination of Marthaâs Vineyard is largely sequestered from the mainland, it is not spared from the scourge of addiction that spreads through communities like wildfire.
With the warm days of summer here set in sharp contrast with the gloomy days of the off-season, some Islanders turn to drugs and alcohol as an escape from the boredom or depression that is also widespread in our tiny Island community.
