Overview
At the beginning of a nightly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Jim seems particularly troubled. His sponsor encourages him to talk that night, the first time in seven months, so he does - and leaves the meeting right after. As Jim wanders the night, searching for some solace in his old stomping grounds, bars and parks where he bought drugs, the meeting goes on, and we hear the stories of survivors and addicts - some, like Louis, who claim to have wandered in looking for choir practice, who don't call themselves alcoholic, and others, like Joseph, whose drinking almost caused the death of his child - as they talk about their lives at the meeting

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
An unflinching portrait of addiction and recovery that intercuts one man's dangerous night with the raw confessions of an AA meeting. It's intimate and unglamorous, a film that sits with people in their struggle rather than dramatizing it.
