Orly Yadin and Eleanor Lanahan completed a feature documentary, “One Alcoholic to Another.” To outsiders, Alcoholics Anonymous is often considered a cult. Two filmmakers of diverse perspectives demystify this organization. To protect the anonymity of participants at an AA meeting Lanahan drew and animated their faces and synced their speech. Yadin was cinematographer and created digital effects. Together they trace the smuggling routes in Vermont during prohibition, interview historians, explore breweries, and visit the Vermont birthplaces of AA’s co-founders, Dr. Bob and Bill Wilson.
