As a person in long-term recovery (37 years), I found this film to be highly inspirational! "The Anonymous People" is a rich social document that presents a history of the struggle folks like I have had to dispel stigma and feelings of shame or embarrassment about being an alcoholic/addict. The film demonstrates that for those of us who do successfully recover ~ we can become beacons of light and hope to those who still suffer from this illness ~ including our loved-ones! This film is an important vehicle by which we can further educate policy-makers and the general public about the value of entering into and maintaining recovery. The film's Director, Greg Williams, is extremely knowledgeable and respectful of 12-Step principals. The position he takes on the issue of anonymity is supported by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services. I urge all with a loved-one suffering from addiction, or themselves with a drinking/drug problem or in recovery, and their friends & neighbors to watch this inspiring historic documentary film.
