Watched my name is bill last night on YouTube. Thought it portrayed alot of the altruism about aa. But I didn't see alot of the oxford group mentioned. Have you seen the movie? What were yourthoughts?

I don't have anything against the big book, but I definitely found bill more tolerable after the movie, in spite of orange papers lol

Some of the folks in My Name is Bill and who worked on the movie are among "us". I know from hearing some speak in Virginia after the film wrapped that they took great pride in being able to put it together and get it out there.
