In the first program on Alcoholics Anonymous ever filmed by a producer outside the umbrella of the AA organization, the documentary takes viewers inside AA meetings, as well as the AA General Services Office -- the overseeing body that assists the fellowship worldwide. On-camera interviews with AA "old-timers," AA's managing director, as well as leading national health authorities and the organization's outspoken critics, answer questions never before asked. The program also reveals what a newcomer faces upon entering the door to a meeting for the first time.
