Description
Jennifer's life is falling apart and she escapes into booze, cocaine, and junk food. When they're not numbing enough, she slits a vein and tries to die but that doesn't work either. She has to try something else. A remarkable story about addiction recovery. In Northern East Cree, French, Southern East Cree, and English.
