CURE for the CRASH: How The Rails Became My Rehab

By Brian Paul Brightdawn

Book Overview

The book CURE for the CRASH begins with a kid who's worn many hats: from paperboy to pawnbroker, graffiti artist to junky. The story opens on the multiple experiences that shaped my identity before I found my ways and means to New Orleans. The Movie CURE for the CRASH evolves as I channel a boundless amount of manic energy into making a train-hopping documentary where I transformed The Rails into My Rehab. This pivotal chapter in my life becomes a unique lens to confront my drug problems while I binged on sobriety seeking what I call: The Art of Train Hoppin! Together, the book & movie are about hitting rock bottom, bouncing back, and above all shows the healing power of storytelling. Themes of grief, guilt, mental illnesses and relentless self-discovery intertwine while I transition from an addict, to author. CURE for the CRASH is a testament to resilience, creative healing, and the transformative journey from rock bottom to recovery. So now, would you like to join me on this once in a lifetime ride? Give me a read and watch my movie on The Art of Train Hopping!
