Coming Clean Screening

The Rural Drug Addiction Research (RDAR) Centeris dedicated to understanding the causes and impacts of rural drug addiction and its related challenges and harms. The RDAR Center’s long-term research mission is to better understand and mitigate rural drug addiction and its personal and social harms by linking pre-clinical studies to field-based behavioral, neural, social, and clinical research. Center-sponsored projects and events range from the microscopic world of the synapse in human biology to the social and geographical environments in which drug use interventions take place, exploring rural drug addiction from synapse to society.Connect with us onFacebookandTwitter!********************The Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Artsharnesses the intellectual energy and resources of the entire University of Nebraska and combines it with leading industry partners from around the world to create the premier emerging media arts educational program for driven students who want to pursue careers, start companies, or change the world by solving problems that threaten the future of humanity.Connect with us onFacebook,Twitter, andInstagram!********************Worlds of Connections (WoC), through a partnership withNE STEM 4Uafter-school clubs, uses best practices in science education to engage underserved middle school youth.

We have a fully integrated, crosscutting approach that combines network science, dynamic narratives, social engagement, inquiry, and emerging media arts. We are assessing if our efforts improve youth understanding of network science for health and interest in biomedical careers.

However you wish to attend, please join us on Friday, October 8, 2021, at 4:30pm for this important examination of the opioid crisis in the United States.Coming Clean is a feature documentary examining addiction through the eyes of people in recovery and political leaders, as they come together to bring the profiteers to justice and rebuild in the wake of the deadliest drug epidemic in our history. The Coming Clean community is driven by a shared belief system: that in order to disarm this very real threat to American Life we must investigate our country&#x27;s devastating trend toward loneliness, separation, and the demonization of addiction.Ondi Timoner is known to be one of the greatest talents in non-fiction filmmaking. She often takes on the stories of visionaries fighting against all odds with a gripping and unique mixed-media, narrative style.
