The Anonymous People

THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE is a feature documentary film (88 minutes) about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. Deeply entrenched social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. This new public recovery movement aims to transform public opinion, and finally shift problematic policy toward lasting recovery solutions.
