James 1:9-10 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

Jill Frechie first visited the Kensington section of Philadelphia in 2018 for a film assignment, she could not believe the extensive opioid epidemic that exists.

Wearing thick-soled shoes to avoid being stuck by discarded needles, she saw people openly injecting themselves. Others were high, leaning against buildings, or were passed out, lying on the sidewalks. She witnessed prostitutes trying to earn enough money for their next doses. She saw many homeless people struggling to live in makeshift tents.

This did not look like the neighborhood where her grandfather once owned a cigar shop or a place where families would want to raise their children.

What she discovered was much worse than her expectations, which is why she felt compelled to return and do more. For the next year, Frechie, a Gladwyne resident, and her colleague, filmmaker John Ricciutti, of Radnor, voluntarily spent more than 500 hours of their time filming the crisis.
