"Recovery City" Examines Addiction, Community, and Resilience
Episode 180
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026
On this episode, host Michael Azevedo chats with award-winning documentary filmmaker Lisa Olivieri about her film, "Recovery City," a raw exploration of what it means to be in recovery as seen through the eyes of four women whose lives share a common thread: addiction. Set in the working class city of Worcester MA, the film is a real and honest portrait of resilience, grit and camaraderie presenting women who use their lived experience to lift up those still struggling while refusing to give up hope. "Recovery City" will screen on March 28 at GBH Studios in Boston as part of the Vinfen Film Festival. Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.
