Happy Valley Page #10

Synopsis: Deep in the heart of Utah, commonly referred to as "Happy Valley," residents enjoy one of the lowest crime rates, highest literacy and language fluency - even the most jello consumption - across the nation. Yet under the glossy exterior of this beautiful community, there are less popular categories that Happy Valley contends in but doesn't advertise, including prescription drug abuse, double the national average of anti-depressant drugs, even suicide. In Happy Valley at least one teen per week dies from drug overdose. The real-life true story, Happy Valley, sheds light on the growing problem of prescription drug abuse in Utah County and, as importantly, the associated issues of denial, conformity, social pressure and guilt. The film intimately follows several lives and families that have been dramatically affected by prescription drug abuse leading to street drug abuse and addiction. From these stories and a single father's journey to reunite a family emerge unconditional love, forgive

You got a beautiful wife

who loves you.

You got five children

who are standing for you.

And this is the time that you

step through the stuff

that you haven't stepped through

in the last 15 years.

And I am just sending thoughts

and prayers your way, my friend.

I love you. See ya.

So I think about that night

all the time.

If, you know, I could have...

If I was holding...

I was still...

I was holding the phone

in my hand, you know.

I should have dialed instead

of listening to someone else,

but I didn't.

And we lost... You know,

someone died because of it.

If only we could promise

a rosy ending for all.

Seems we tend to let our

experiences form our identity.

People who actually believe that

they're sad, lonely, addicted,

poor, victims, et cetera.

You're none of those things.

You are uniquely beautiful,

glorious, and Godlike.

Even a miracle.

We just all sometimes forget.

So when you're done experiencing

all those experiences,

come on back to that person.

The beautiful soul you've always

been and will always be.

It's a choice.

A choice that can be made

as quick as you up

from the seat you're in.

Safe

journeys.
