Held & Healing places one woman’s lived experience at the center of a larger American story about how institutions respond to trauma, addiction, and Black motherhood. Through Kristie’s eyes, viewers witness the lived reality of being criminalized while trying to survive: repeated arrests tied to addiction, the dangers and contradictions of “help” shaped by punishment, and the dehumanizing conditions of J*il pregnancy, where basic prenatal care is treated as optional and dignity is treated as negotiable. But this is not only a story of harm. It is a story of turning points: of accountability without shame, of healing that goes beyond abstinence, and of the people who made space for transformation when the system would not. As Kristie rebuilds her life, reuniting with her children and becoming a public advocate, Held & Healing becomes a guide for what real public safety looks like: culturally responsive care, family preservation, and change rooted in the leadership of those most impacted.Agenda🕑: 06:00 PM - 07:10 PMDocumentary ScreeningInfo: Through deeply personal stories and advocacy perspectives, the film sheds light on systemic barriers, resilience, and the pathways to healing and dignity for women navigating these challenges.🕑: 07:10 PM - 07:20 PMBreakInfo: Enjoy light refreshments and visit our exhibitors.🕑: 07:20 PM - 08:00 PMPanel Discussion Info: The panel will include Kristie Puckett and local advocates and service providers will discuss the themes in the film and how they apply to Asheville and the greater Western NC region.
