Inheritance: Documentary Screening and Reception

Inheritance the Documentary at the Ruby Film Theater at Duke
Tuesday, October 22, 2024
5:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Matt Moyer and Curtis Ramsey

Register for a powerful screening of "Inheritance."

Dive into the heart of America's opioid epidemic with an exclusive screening of "Inheritance," a compelling new documentary that traces the roots of addiction through the lens of one boy's journey and his family's struggle over four generations.

Filmed over 11 years, "Inheritance" takes us deep into the heart of Curtis, a bright and hopeful boy in rural Appalachia, surrounded by love and struggle while every adult in his family - parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins - battles addiction.

Curtis' America is an America where people and communities are struggling with an epidemic of substance use disorder, joblessness, and a deteriorating sense of belonging.

Join us after the screening as we engage in an insightful discussion with Matt Moyer, the director of "Inheritance," and Curtis himself. Gain deeper perspectives on the topics discussed in the film and the personal experiences behind this impactful story.

This event is free and open to the Duke community and the general public. Reserved parking will be available along Campus Drive.
