The NJ PBS digital documentary series “21” examines a simple question: Does where you live in the state affect how you live? The “21” series profiles one person in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties and looks at the social determinants that affect that person’s life.

The latest film profiles Stacey Ross from Mercer County — a woman who struggled much of her life with addiction but has since recovered and now uses her personal experience to help those fighting the same disease. Ross is a certified peer recovery specialist for Mercer Council, and she spends her days working with those in need around Trenton.
