The Anonymous People - Documentary Film

Join the School of Social Work in the viewing of a poignant film about Recovery and the power of reclamation, community support and personal triumph.

Part of October 2014 Investing In Abilities Events titled, Is Addiction a Disability?

"The Anonymous People is a feature documentary film about the over 23 million Americans living in long-term recovery from alcohol and other drug addictions. Deeply entrenched social stigma have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The vacuum has been filled with sensational mass media depictions of people with addiction that perpetuate a lurid fascination with the dysfunctional side of what is a preventable and treatable health condition" YouTube, 9/10/14.
