Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderfully Done
Comment: Depicts the basic story behind the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous wonderfully. Several points in this video capture the desperation and utter hopelessness felt by one with the disease. The scene where Bill & Bob are talking on a street corner and see one drunk helping another drunk spells out the whole of the basis why AA works.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Decent Film
Comment: I'm not sure of the historical accuracy of this film, but it is a good film. It does a very good job of illustrating the addict's reality.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Inspirational and Entertaining
Comment: Although not for everybody, this film gives us insight into the struggles of Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob the founders of AA. I think the acting was excellent. The characters were portrayed wonderfully by James Woods and James Garner. I learned a lot from this film and would recommend it to anybody who is involved in a 12 step program or works with recovery.

Summary: Awsome !!!!
Comment: As a recovering person of 21 years, the movie helped me get in touch with so many feelings. Mostly gratitude for what I have but also the feelings of hopelessness, shame, and despair. So very close to Bill's Story in the Big Book. I use it to show new people in recovery how it all started.
