Synopsis
Original Body of Pain captures the intense and often generational nature of addiction through portraits of two women trying to escape its clutches. But as these new mothers chase recovery, infant drug withdrawals, relapses, and incarcerations will test their resolve and threaten their families’ futures. Meanwhile, home health nurse Joanna Christoph treats the emerging issue of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome with grit and heart.
