Of this unique collaboration, Dave Lavender, President of the Board of HOPE IN THE HILLS, says, "At HOPE IN THE HILLS (HEALING APPALACHIA), we're grateful - as a music-based movement - for writers and kindred spirits like Eddie Mensore who shine a realistic light on the humanity and impact of addiction as well as the power of recovery," says Hope in the Hills board President Dave Lavender. "We believe in the power of film, TV, music, and the arts to fuel and foster narrative change, to help show that with addiction and recovery, there is no us and them - it is just us. And we are all in this together."
