This moving film about four women
from different economic backgrounds
shows how alcohol and prescribed drugs
affect all aspects of their lives - from
their work situations , to their sexual
identities, to their own self images. lt
demonstrates how the medical community, the media, and the values of society at large actually perpetuate this problem in women. In the United States, there are nearly 5 million women who are “hidden” alcoholics. This is the first film to deal with the special issues of
women and the severe stigma that surrounds them, keeping them from getting help.
