I'm an Alcoholic: Inside Recovery

A look inside the recovery group Alcoholics Anonymous, with the first ever access to an AA meeting. How does an organisation rooted in 1930s American evangelicalism still work in the modern world?

Alcoholics Anonymous is the longest-running addiction programme in the world and has been operating in the UK for 75 years. At a time when problem drinking is on the rise, this film has access to an AA meeting in central England for the first time ever.

Rooted in the evangelical Christianity of 1930s America, many of the cornerstones of the programme's structure have changed little. How does this organisation work in our modern society? How do members with no faith at all interpret the programme now, and why does it still work for so many?
