RED ROAD TO SOBRIETY

Documents the philosophy and method of the Native American Sobriety Movement currently spreading through indigenous communities across the continent to fight native addiction. It explores the historical background of the less-than-positive relationship between the indigenous population and alcohol including the fact that alcohol was used as a weapon and as a tool by unscrupulous whites to cheat natives out of their land and take advantage of them in other ways. With representation from numerous tribes, young people and elders, chiefs and other leaders, people explain how they overcame devastating addiction-related problems by returning to traditional healing methods of their people. Based in traditional medicine and religious practices, and involving the community, people in recovery change their lifestyle by sharing the strength of their neighbors and of their ancestors. Re-establishing their link to their own spirituality and the natural world that surrounds them makes for a very powerful and moving video!
