As a social worker, a filmmaker and a person in long-term recovery for over 20 years, Stephen is grateful for the opportunity to unite his personal interests and professional skills in a project that explores the lived experience of the people most affected by Portugal’s groundbreaking drug and harm reduction policies: people who use drugs, people in recovery, people who work in harm reduction and their families. Stephen, his wife, and their two-year-old daughter are excited to arrive in Lisbon in spring of 2025.
