SURRENDER TO WIN FILM FESTIVAL TAKES ON DRAMA OF THE BUSINESS OF RECOVERY & THE HOPE OF FACING ADDICTION AT THE ELKS THEATRE

FILM FESTIVAL asks: Where do you stand on the issue of Facing Addiction and treatment?

Step into the passion and drama of facing addiction and mental illness at Prescotts first annual, 3 day, Surrender To Win Film Festival at The Elks Theatre. Special guest, Sandy Kenyon, from WABC-TV, New York City will be hosting a full slate of films and discussion on the challenges of a growing treatment industry and the hope of millions of people recovering from drug addiction and mental illness across the country.

The film festival begins on Friday April 8, 2016 with the Northern Arizona premiere of The Business of Recovery. As drug and alcohol addictions skyrocket, The Business of Recovery examines the untold billions that are being made off of families in crisis.
