“In Memory of Her”

After losing her mother to an overdose, Nola turns to harm reduction to understand the root causes of addiction. Blending observational footage, interviews, and her childhood archive, In Memory of Her follows her journey through vulnerability and introspection toward hope, and asks what we lose when we decide some people’s suffering isn’t worth our care.
