Bahai Movie Night continues with

My Name Is Bill W. is a 1989 CBS Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie directed by Daniel Petrie, starring James Woods, JoBeth Williams and James Garner. William G. Borchert, who wrote the film for television, based it on the true story of William Griffith Wilson and Dr. Robert Holbrook Smith, M.D. (the men respectively called "Bill W." and "Dr. Bob"), the co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. James Woods won an Emmy for his portrayal of Wilson.

Not exactly a comedy but an important point in history. The film depicts the founding of a program that accepts people of all faiths and walks of life. The virtue of compassion,caring, respect and service are practiced in this important program.

I credit Dan Morgulis with suggesting this film. If you have a movie that you want to see just let me know and I will see what I can do.

I will see everyone at 7:30pm on Friday May 23rd at 99 College Street snacks provided so just bring yourselves.and a friend.
