Childhood exposure to drugs and domestic violence propelled six women into addiction. Over three years Moms Living Clean follows the women’s struggles and triumphs in an innovative substance abuse treatment program, and exposes drug laws dehumanizing mothers and removing their children. Filmed on location in San Rafael, California, the women learn recovery and parenting skills with the goal to become self-sufficient. After the six month residency, the women move into the transition house and begin a new life in the community. With fewer restrictions can the women rise to the challenges of a new job, being a single mom and fending off temptation? As their stories unfold, the film takes an unflinching look at America’s war on drugs aimed at pregnant and parenting women with addictions, and the legacy of imprisonment and foster care on their children.
