Joseph
Фильм “Алкаши” позволяет заглянуть на собрание группы Анонимных Алкоголиков. Встреча проходит в подвальном помещении церкви; там есть кофе, сигареты – и люди, которые находятся на грани. Мы слышим разные истории: одни (как Льюис, который утверждает, что пришел в поисках церковной практики) не называют себя алкоголиками; другие (как Джозеф, чей алкоголизм чуть не привел к смерти его ребенка) рассказывают о своей жизни на собрании.
