Cinema in Sync: Generation Found

Join us for Cinema In Sync: Film, Fellowship, and Connection Series Screenings—a recovery-focused film series featuring stories of hope, resilience, transformation, and change. Each screening, presented in partnership by ArtsQuest and Sync Recovery Community, explores recovery through film, sparking conversation, challenging stigma, and highlighting the power of recovery in individuals, families, and communities.

Following each film, stay for an optional talk back with guest panelists. This supportive space offers an opportunity to share your thoughts, ask questions, connect with others, or simply listen as we continue the conversation around recovery.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

To support the spirit of Cinema in Sync, the theater hosting the film series will be maintained as a dedicated alcohol-free space. Alcohol may be available for purchase elsewhere throughout ArtsQuest Campus at SteelStacks and the ArtsQuest Center.

From the creators of the groundbreaking film, The Anonymous People, comes GENERATION FOUND, a powerful story about one community coming together to ignite a youth addiction recovery revolution in their hometown. Devastated by an epidemic of addiction, Houston faced the reality of burying and locking up its young people at an alarming rate. And so in one of the largest cities in America, visionary counselors, law school dropouts, aspiring rock musicians, retired football players, oil industry executives, and church leaders came together to build the world’s largest peer-driven youth and family recovery community.

Independently filmed over the course of two years, GENERATION FOUND takes an unprecedented and intimate look at how a system of treatment centers, sober high schools, alternative peer groups, and collegiate recovery programs can exist in concert to intervene early and provide a real and tested long-term alternative to the “War on Drugs.” It is not only a deeply personal story, but one with real-world utility for communities struggling with addiction worldwide.
