In this powerful episode of Genuine Life, I talk with Emmy-nominated filmmakers Kay and Murray Sumner, creators of the award-winning documentary Survivors.
After losing their son Josh—a gifted musician—to opioid addiction, the Sumners turned unimaginable grief into purpose. Through their film and mission, they’re working to break the stigma, raise awareness, and save lives in the midst of the opioid/fentanyl crisis.
This conversation goes beyond headlines. It reveals the truth about addiction—how it can impact any family, how quickly things can spiral, and why awareness and honest conversations matter now more than ever.
You’ll hear:
- The real story behind their son Josh and the inspiration for Survivors
- How addiction often begins in unexpected ways
- The devastating impact of fentanyl in today’s world
- Why breaking the stigma can save lives
- And where hope, healing, and purpose can still be found
This episode is heartbreaking, eye-opening, and ultimately uplifting—it’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, light can still break through.
