What it is
The Anonymous People is a 2013 feature documentary directed and narrated by Greg Williams. It argues that stigma has kept the millions of Americans in long-term addiction recovery silent, and follows people who choose to speak openly about their recovery, including former NBA player Chris Herren speaking to high school students.
