Reviewed by Buzz Haughton, Shields Library, University of California at DavisThis film focuses on a single Alcoholics Anonymous Group in Vermont, the state from which AA’s founders, Bill Wilson and Dr. Smith, originated. It goes through a history of the organization including interviews with various archivists dealing with its history, and then returns to a group of alcoholics who have found sobriety by following AA principles, the Twelve Steps.
Highly recommended for high-school audiences and above.
