Recovery Documentary 'The Anonymous People' Screening in Montclair
Film focuses on solutions rather than problems of addiction.
While the media puts plenty of focus on addiction, think Lindsey Lohan and reality shows like Intervention and Celebrity Rehab, little has been done to shine a light on the recovery movement.
That's the premise behind the feature documentary The Anonymous People, screening at the Bellevue Theatre in Montclair Wednesday, at 7:30 p.m.
The film's creator Greg Williams sets out to discuss the solutions, rather than the problems, of addiction. The result is a powerful conversation about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.
The film is meant to "out" those millions of Americans and give hope to the millions more still living with addiction, a reality that costs the country hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
The Anonymous People is an independent project that traveled to more than 17 states to collect 75 hours of footage from different voices of the recovery movement.
Tickets are $10 and can be reserved online.
