Out of the Shadow Productions was formed in 2005 to produce stories of recovery, self-discovery, transcendence and hope. We support awareness and the communication across people at different phases in their lives, different life circumstances, and different cultures, breaking down the boundaries of prejudice, stigma, and intolerance.
