Film synopsis: From the creators of 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 & locking up its young people at an alarming rate. So, in one of the biggest cities in America, visionary counselors, law school dropouts, aspiring rock musicians, retired football players, oil industry executives, & church leaders came together to build the world’s largest peer-driven youth & family recovery community.

Independently filmed over the course of two years, Generation Found takes an unprecedented & intimate look at how a system of treatment centers, recovery high schools, alternative peer groups, & collegiate recovery programs can exist in concert to intervene early & provide a real & 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.
