"Victims" is a short film adaptation of the feature-length script of the same name. While the short film reflects the struggles of a loved one's addiction through the eyes and vantage points of his family, the feature length script delves even deeper into the tentacles of addiction. Following a man on his journey through self destruction and homelessness to recovery and redemption as a detox counselor, "Victims" aims to highlight the ripple effect of addiction AND recovery.
