New “Beautiful Boy” Discussion Guide for Families
“Beautiful Boy,” in theaters October 12, is a powerful, poignant and heartbreaking film, combining the memoirs of David Sheff and his son, Nic Sheff.

Our hope is that this film will help to change hearts and minds and reduce the stigma and shame too often felt by families. Download Now
