The Anonymous People film presentation
The
Anonymous People is a feature documentary film
about the more than 23 million Americans living in long-term recovery from
addiction to alcohol and other drugs.
Deeply entrenched social stigma has kept recovery
voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The vacuum has been filled with
sensational mass media depictions of people with addiction that perpetuate a
lurid fascination with the dysfunctional side of what is a preventable and
treatable health condition.
The moving story of The Anonymous People is
told through the faces and voices of citizens, leaders, volunteers, corporate
executives, public figures, and celebrities who are laying it all on the line
to save the lives of others just like them. This passionate new public recovery
movement aims to transform public opinion, engage communities and elected
officials, and finally shift problematic policy toward lasting solutions.
