Conscious Contact explores the personal spiritual quest of Bill W and his thirst for transcendence.

Submitter Statement

The documentary provides an intimate view of Bill Wilson, one of the great healers of the 20th century and the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. It focuses on Bill Wilson as a spiritual seeker rather than his public persona, Bill W. For the first time, the film reveals Bill Wilson’s exploration of transcendental meditation at the end of his life. It includes an interview with Lincoln Norton, the man who taught Bill Wilson transcendental meditation. The documentary also exposes Wilson as an open-minded pragmatist and features rare recordings, photos, and letters, many of which have never been seen before.

Kevin Hanlon is known for Bill W.: The Creative Force Behind Alcoholics Anonymous (2016) and Bill W. (2012).
