Lost Childhood: Growing Up In An Alcoholic Family DVD 30 mins JM1001 $29.95 Highly Recommended
This is a half-hour program told in three parts. The first part begins in 1986 at a summer camp retreat for young children of alcoholics. The children speak about their experiences with an honesty and wisdom beyond their years. Many of these children know they are at high risk of becoming alcoholics themselves. Part 2 takes place 17 years later as we follow up with two of the children from 1986 who are now adults. Through their experiences, we explore the long-term impacts of living with alcoholism in the family. The third part takes us back to the summer camp retreat where our story first began. We visit the newest generation of children of alcoholics. We talk to the same counsellor who helped our 1986 children and learn that while the core issues remain the same for today’s children, the vast majority of children of alcoholics are still not getting any help. Many face additional burdens of broken homes, poverty and hard core drug use.

Paper Slippers DVD 50 mins ROZ3004 $29.95
This dramatic presentation documents the compelling stories of six people on their first day of treatment. In a group process, each is given time to explain why they are there, and each has a distorted view as how their life actually is. In flashback, the viewer is shown what actually happened to them prior to admission to the hospital. Through group discussion and short vignettes, we see the chaos, destruction and deep seated denial of their addictions. "Paper Slippers" offers a powerful message of hope and recovery. It helps you reach out to those still suffering, those in treatment, or those who struggle with the decision to ask for help. Features James Earl Jones as "Addiction" Highly Recommended

The Last Card DVD 51 mins ROZ3004 $95.00 Highly Recommended
stars Australia’s Max Gilles as Charlie, an alcoholic salesman and the film follows the him over 3 days, until he ends up in a rehab after smashing his car. The film also stars Arkie Whitely as his daughter and the film accurately depicts the effects of Charlie’s drinking on his family, his work and his own self worth. This movie is 25 years old but it is probably the best ever depiction of alcoholism ever made in Australia. It is completely devastating in Gilles’ portayal of an alcoholic and this movie was specially commissioned by RecoverOz from the vaults of the ABC. This is an important film that should be used by all counsellors and is suitable for rehabs, community health centers or any setting where effects of addiction on families and workplaces is discussed. It is as relevant today as it was when it was made and the film stands up very well to the time it was made.
