New England REEL Recovery Film Festival 2025  June 6-7th, 2025  Hannaford Hall, University of Southern Maine, Portland, ME  Evening Events  https://cvent.me/PArZAE   Where Stories of Recovery Come to Life  Every recovery journey begins with a story and the decision to change.

At the New England REEL Recovery Film Festival, these stories come to life on screen and stage, offering a powerful glimpse into the realities of addiction, healing, and resilience. Now in its second year, the festival is more than a series of films- it’s a movement. A chance to listen, learn, and take action.  Join Us for an Unforgettable Experience. June 6th & 7th, 2025 Hannaford Hall, University of Southern Maine, Portland, ME. The festival will feature a collection of local and national films exploring addiction and recovery, keynote speakers who are leading voices in recovery and justice reform, personal testimonials from individuals impacted by the Bed Sponsorship Fund, and a silent auction to raise funds for those in need.
