2007 Art and Change Grant – $2,350

Joy will create a documentary, Right to Recovery, about the work of New Jerusalem Now, Inc., a self-run community of formerly homeless people helping each other overcome the obstacles caused by addiction to drugs and alcohol. Sixty residents live in five formerly abandoned homes in North Philadelphia, which they rehabilitated and maintain themselves. Joy wants the video to increase understanding of the devastating impacts of substance abuse and alcohol addiction and show what one group of people have accomplished while helping themselves and their community.
