    I remember the making of this film and attending the premier in NYC. Having met pretty much all of the historians who appeared & several of those connected w the making of the film, I was blown away when I saw it at the theater opening night. Many thanks to Kevin & Dan and all those who participated in its planning & production. I wish Lois & Nell would’ve lived long enough to see the film. I’m sure they would’ve loved it & approved. Every time I see this film it brings back fond memories & renews my love for the history of Alcoholics Anonymous. The best AA documentary thus far.

    Without question the best presentation on Bill Wilson that I've seen. He certainly had his flaws... Who among us has none? But it doesn't discount his contributions to the world of recovery from alcoholism. We learn in AA that no man should be put on a pedestal, lest that pedestal come tumbling down. Principles before personalities, always.
  • Bill Wilson is a very intelligent man. He's a hero. Thank you for the documentary. I started AA again and fighting for my life. It's crazy the things they did to alcoholics before AA what a horror!
  • Great honest documentary. Was Bill Wilson a spiritual seeker his entire life? Yes, he had done sceances, yes he had done Ouija board, maybe he did table tipping. But I have done the same in my life because I too am a spiritual seeker. Karl Jung the famous Swiss psychiatrist who helped inspire the spiritual solution to Roland Hazard when he was under his care. Jung talked about in his book Memories, Dreams, and Reflections of the same thing and how a part of his family it was practiced. How his dad who was a minister was torn with his true lack of faith because he did not allow himself to explore spiritually. Many want Bill Wilson to be a cartoon character of holiness. As was written in How it works, We are not Saints. I remember the Master said, he who is without sin cast the first stone. The fundamentalists of any religion or even in AA have trouble with those that continue in their spiritual quest.
  • I hope this includes that he also performed seance, bragged thar he could levitate, played with Oujia boards is was the first 13 stepper. I hope it paints an accurate picture of who he was.

    How did they clean up the audio of the bill Wilson talk. I've heard that talk but the audio was terrible. I would love to hear the cleaned up version in full.
