A RARE WINDOW INTO THE INNER LIFE OF BILL WILSON - A.A. COFOUNDER & HEALER OF MILLIONS
Bill W. Conscious Contact - The Award-Winning Film On Paper presents a deeply moving portrait of William Griffith Wilson (1895-1971) not as a public institution, but as a man who never stopped seeking. Drawing from the Stepping Stones Archive(R)-The Historic Home of Bill and Lois Wilson(R) in Westchester County, New York - this companion volume to the award-winning documentary brings together rare archival photographs, Bill's own letters, and the full film transcript.
Featuring a never-before-told story: in December 1969, Bill Wilson - founder of Alcoholics Anonymous - was taught Transcendental Meditation by Lincoln Norton. Afterward, he declared: "I never understood the 11th Step until I started TM." This discovery, confirmed through Lois Wilson's personal guest book, reveals a man still growing spiritually in the final year of his life.
Winner of 8+ international film festival awards including Best Documentary at the San Diego Movie Awards, Royal Starr Film Festival, Touchstone Independent Film Festival, and Best Documentary Feature at Documentaries Without Borders.
Ideal for: AA members, Al-Anon families, recovery communities, historians of spirituality, and anyone inspired by one of the 20th century's great healers.
