“The film is well done. It was well researched and organized. It is as good a documentary as u0026quot;The Thin Blue Line,u0026quot; u0026quot;The Fog of Waru0026quot; or u0026quot;American Movie.u0026quot; It is one of my top 10 favorite movies. I am an active AA member and a fan of documentaries. I first this film at Chicagou0026#39;s Century Centre Cinema and then at a community college screening with the director present for Qu0026amp;A. Then, I bought the DVD. There is a big backstory and lore to the AA movement that many of us in AA were not even aware of. For example, Kevin Hanlon interviewed Ernest Kurtz, author of Not-God, a doctoral dissertation and a definitive work on AA history. Few people in AA get beyond AAu0026#39;s basic text, Alcoholics Anonymous. The film can be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in documentaries, but it will have special significance for AA . And, it had to be made by an outsider. AA itself could never have internally agreed to make this film. It is great to have this bit of history pulled together in a balanced manner.”
