#unioncounty #sundance Will Poulter & Adam Meeks discuss how Union County was inspired by real drug court meetings in rural Ohio and a desire to tell a different story about addiction—one centered on recovery, empathy, and community. In this conversation, the filmmakers and cast discuss the film’s origins during the early years of the opioid crisis, the decision to blend fiction with documentary, and the trust built with real participants who appear as themselves on screen. It’s an honest look at a program that’s helping people get back on their feet, and a film driven by respect for the people and places too often overlooked.
