Will Poulter and the ‘Union County’ Team Take Their Addiction Recovery Film on an Ohio Tour
The indie film follows addiction and recovery through real stories and Q&As as the cast tours independent theaters across Ohio.
- British actor Will Poulter, writer-director Adam Meeks, and adult recovery court program director Annette Deao are touring Ohio to promote their indie film 'Union County,' which premiered nationwide on Friday, August 7, 2026.
- The drama, an offshoot of Adam Meeks' 2020 short film, centers on the Logan County drug-recovery program run by Annette Deao, who appears on screen alongside program participants to portray authentic stories of recovery.
- Will Poulter, who plays a fictional recovering addict, says the project offers a counternarrative to typical addiction portrayals by emphasizing humanity, dignity, and successful recovery rather than focusing solely on devastation.
- The group is visiting independent theaters across the state, including stops in Cleveland and Akron, while forging strong bonds as they share the film's message about community-based recovery efforts.
- By emphasizing successful recovery, 'Union County' stands out as a rare portrait that champions the system and the people it helps, rather than criticizing it for failures.
