The new documentary Bill W. Conscious Contact follows the ever-evolving inner life of Bill Wilson—co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous—through archival recordings, personal letters, photographs, and intimate interviews. The film focuses on Wilson's white light experience that started the movement and shares the open mind that kept it growing. It also features the only known filmed interview with Lincoln Norton, who introduced Bill to Transcendental Meditation in 1969.

More than biography, this is a spiritual excavation—exploring how one man's relentless search for "conscious contact" transformed millions of lives, and continues to inspire seekers around the world. Deeply personal interviews and never seen images paint an intimate portrait of Bill Wilson's inner world: his struggles, his breakthroughs, and his unwavering commitment to spiritual growth.

"This film shows deeper insight into Bill Wilson's life than I had ever seen before, and it is eye-opening in many ways." - Allen Berger, PhD, Author, Essential Insights for Emotional Sobriety

"Captures the true essence of Bill Wilson as a spiritual seeker. The imagery and audio are thoughtfully chosen and powerfully convey the depth, sincerity, and spirit of his journey." - Mike Fitzpatrick, Recovery Speakers
