A complex man with a compelling story. Bill Wilson’s life has an intrinsic fascination in and of itself. But beyond its subject’s drama, lies the issues it brings up, particularly around the causes and treatment of alcoholism and addiction in general. Alcoholism is said to be a biopsychosocial disorder. This dramatization of Wilson’s struggles illuminates aspects of the disease.
