Bobbi Jo: Under the Influence (2021)
Bobbi Jo: Under the Influence is one of the most inspirational stories you will ever hear. For 25 years, Bobbi Jo Reed has rescued thousands of addicts. But before she could help others, Bobbi Jo needed to help herself.

This true life story takes an honest look into the world of alcoholism and addiction and provides keys to long term recovery in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods of Kansas City.

After a middle class upbringing, Bobbi Jo turned to drinking and drugs at a young age.  Soon, her life spiraled out of control. Addiction led to abuse, prostitution, and homelessness. When she hit rock bottom, Bobbi Jo had a spiritual awakening.
 
With newfound strength, Bobbi Jo was lifted out of a personal hell. That strength gave her the courage to return to the streets to help others. Using the testimony of her dark past as a blueprint of hope, Bobbi Jo Reed reflects on her transformation. How she was saved. Why she was chosen. And why more than 8,000 souls now call her, Mom.

    Life-Changing Film Experience. Bringing hope to the hopeless
    This is a must see film for any one who has been touched by addiction, alcoholism, despair, hopelessness and for those searching for a way to feel purpose in their lives. Watching this incredible documentary, so beautifully filmed & edited, I was touched to the depths of my soul. It was so inspiring and motivating for me to see the power of healing transformation and the ripple effect Bobbi Jo Reed had on others. For those searching to connect with purpose in a meaningful way, watch this movie & see the impossible become possible. What's the purpose of our lives? Bobbi Jo Reed shows us that by having the courage and desperation to face our inner demons to heal we are called to reach out to someone who is suffering and share our miracle and support until they can find their own.
