The Anonymous People

I have decided to bring in this awesome movie about addiction recovery called "The Anonymous People". As of right now the screening will be shown at The Little Theater in Rochester,NY on Sunday April 6,2014 at 3pm. Now the date, the time and hell even the theater are tentative until well you know all t's get crossed and the i's get dotted but it will happen and I hope with The Little Theater because I think its the coolest theater around. So maybe you ask, "Dave why are you telling us about this if its not set in stone." Well because I'm taking the initiative because I really believe in this film and what it represents. The documentary is about the more than 23.5 million Americans that are addicted to alcohol and other drugs. Deeply entrenched social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The vacuum that has been created by this silence has been filled by sensational mass media depictions of people in active addiction that continue to perpetuate a lurid public fascination of the dysfunctional side of what is a preventable and a treatable disease.
Courageous addiction recovery advocates are starting to come out of the shadows to tell their true stories. The moving story of The Anonymous People is told through the faces and voices of the leaders,volunteers, corporate executives and celebrities who lay it all on the line to save the lives of others just like them. This passionate new recovery movement is fueling a changing conversation that aims to transform  public opinion and finally shift problematic policy towards lasting recovery solutions.
Keep watching my blog for more info and a link to a page being created so you can actually purchase tickets online. Along with the movie  being shown, a panel will be created for a q & a afterwards.
Thanks
