"Bill W."
7:30 p.m., Thursday August 30
Bill W. tells the story of William G. Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics
Anonymous, a man included in TIME Magazine’s 100 Persons of the 20th
Century. Interviews, recreations, and rare archival material reveal how
Bill Wilson, a hopeless drunk near death from his alcoholism, found a
way out of his own addiction and then forged a path for countless others
to follow. With Bill as its driving force, A.A. grew from a handful of
men to a worldwide fellowship of over 2 million men and women – a
success that made him an icon within A.A., but also an alcoholic unable
to be a member of the very society he had created. A reluctant hero,
Bill Wilson lived a life of sacrifice and service, and left a legacy
that continues every day, all around the world. Directors: Kevin Hanlon
and Dan Carracino 2012 USA 103min. NR digital
