In this critically acclaimed five-part series, Bill Moyers puts a human face on an American public health crisis: drug and alcohol addiction. Each program takes on a different facet of addiction and recovery—from studies of brain pathology and genetic risk, to various prevention and treatment approaches, to a look at our public policy. The intimate experience of addiction is shared by the addicts themselves, their parents, children, and those helping them toward recovery. The DVD version of this series also includes a special video introduction by Mr. Moyers. 5-part series, 57-81 minutes each.
