As part of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month proclaimed by Gov. Jack Dalrymple, the Governor’s Prevention Advisory Council on Drugs and Alcohol is recognizing a documentary screening that chronicles the life of William G. Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. The event will take place on Monday at the Grand 15 Theatres, 1486 Interstate Loop, in Bismarck. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the documentary beginning at 7 p.m.
The newly released documentary, titled “Bill W.,” tells the story about a man who was included in TIME Magazine’s “100 Persons of the 20th Century.” Bill W. is not yet rated in the U.S.; it has been rated in Canada, however, where it has received a rating equivalent to the U.S. rating of PG-13. The movie includes interviews and other rare material that reveal how Wilson found a way out of his own addiction to help others recover from alcohol abuse. The official movie trailer is online at www.page124.com.
Following the documentary screening, there will be a panel discussion led by local addiction experts in the theater.
Tickets are $9.25 and can be purchased either online through Heartview Foundation at billw@heartview.org or at the Grand 15 Theatres. For more information on the event, call 701-222-0386 or 1-800-337-3160.
