Anonymous Sister

MKE Film Festival

Filmmaker Jamie Boyle turns the camera on her own family when her mother and sister become dependent on opioids. Drawing upon over 30 years of footage, Boyle creates a poignant and timely study of the deadliest man-made epidemic in United States history. Employing a tender intimacy that reveals a fresh perspective for audiences, this film ultimately ruminates on the pain and beauty of suffering and surviving as a human in a body with limits.
