On Thursday, October 15, 2015, the Deerfield Valley Community Partnership presents a community screening of THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE, a feature documentary film about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. The film will be shown at Memorial Hall in Wilmington from 6:00pm-8:00pm.

Deeply entrenched social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The vacuum 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 with the dysfunctional side of what is a preventable and treatable health condition.

The moving story of The Anonymous People is told through the faces and voices of those in recovery. This passionate new public recovery movement is fueling a changing conversation that aims to transform public opinion, and finally shift problematic policy toward lasting recovery solutions.
