Addiction & Homeless Crisis – Seattle is Dying

This documentary explores the intertwined crises of addiction and homelessness in Seattle. It tells the story of a deep, simmering frustration that is escalating into anger and outrage. It highlights the experiences of people who have felt compassion, but no longer feel safe, heard, or protected. It’s about lost individuals roaming the streets, disconnected from home, family, or reality, chasing a drug that in turn relentlessly pursues them. The film examines not only the harm they inflict upon themselves, but also the toll it takes on the very fabric of the community. It speaks of a once-beautiful city now damaged, and a crisis of faith among Seattleites who are losing their connection to the place they once loved. But there’s another side to this story—a potential solution, a glimmer of hope in a city that seems to have run out of ideas. The question remains: what if Seattle is dying, and we don’t even realize it?
