About Frequency of Hope

In Alaska’s rugged Mat-Su Valley, Erin Moore is a recovering addict and mother who lost her children, her voice, and nearly her life to addiction. Now she runs a beat-up rock-and-roll radio station, using the airwaves to speak honestly about recovery and second chances. As the station becomes a lifeline for others, Erin prepares for a different kind of stage — the Mrs. Alaska pageant — in a deeply personal attempt to reconnect with the family she lost.

Frequency of Hope is a raw and redemptive portrait of a woman turning guilt into grace, shame into signal, and finding her way back home.

About the Guests

ERIN MOORE (Subject, Founder of KHITZ 107.1)

Erin Moore is a community leader and radio host from Alaska’s Mat-Su Valley who turned her pain into purpose. After years lost to addiction, she rebuilt her life by transforming a struggling local station, KHITZ 107.1, into a hub for recovery, connection, and hope. Through her work on and off the air, Erin has become a voice for those finding their way back—proving that healing can ripple outward when one person dares to speak life again.

DAN DRUHORA (Director, Producer, USC SCA MFA ’14)

Dan Druhora is an Emmy Award–winning filmmaker and USC School of Cinematic Arts alumnus whose documentaries explore redemption, resilience, and the human spirit. His documentary films and docuseries, including Lives Not Grades, Cloudwalkers, and Long Distance Swimmer, have been recognized worldwide for their cinematic depth and social impact.

DR. RYAN RAY (Director, Producer, USC MPA ‘16, DSW ‘21)

Dr. Ryan Ray is a filmmaker, social innovator, and former U.S. Army combat medic who earned his Doctorate in Social Innovation from the University of Southern California. He founded Set Free Alaska, a pioneering recovery and mental-health organization that has become a model for social enterprise. Blending service, storytelling, and systems change, Ryan uses film to reveal how transformation begins when courage meets community.

PHILIP LICHT (CEO, Set Free Alaska)

Philip Licht is the CEO and founding leader of Set Free Alaska, a statewide recovery organization helping thousands reclaim their lives from addiction. A visionary builder and advocate, Philip’s work embodies the belief that restoration is possible for every person—a message that beats at the heart of Frequency of Hope.
