In this critically acclaimed five-part series, Bill Moyers puts a human face on an American public health crisis—drug and alcohol addiction. Each program takes on a different facet of addiction and recovery—from studies of brain pathology and genetic risk, to various prevention and treatment approaches, to a look at our public policy. The intimate experience of addiction is shared by the addicts themselves, their parents, children, and those helping them toward recovery. 5 Part Series: Portrait of Addiction The Hijacked Brain Changing Lives The Next Generation The Politics of Addiction
