What We Hide: A Film Discussion Guide on Grief, Addiction, and Survival
Eluna is proud to serve as the Social Impact Partner for What We Hide, a powerful new film that follows two sisters – Spider and Jessie – after the overdose death of their mother. As they navigate a harsh reality without trusted adults, the film explores complex themes of grief, addiction, caregiving, and resilience.
To support reflection and healing around these themes, we’ve created a printable discussion guide – perfect for use by caregivers, support professionals, and adult family members. Whether used in a support group, professional training, or personal reflection, this guide invites meaningful conversations.
What’s inside:
-
10 discussion prompts that explore the film’s characters, emotional depth, and real-life parallels
-
Guidance for facilitators, including content advisories and language tips
-
A focus on person-first, non-stigmatizing language for grief and substance use
-
A resource section to help viewers connect to Eluna programs and support
This resource is especially relevant for those supporting youth affected by grief, overdose loss, or substance misuse in the family system. What We Hide will be available for digital rental starting August 29. A QR code to order the film is included in the guide.
