Allen, Dennis. (Director). Jacob, Selwyn. (Producer). National Film Board of Canada (Producer, Distributor).

Summary: "Alcoholism is an ongoing challenge for many Indigenous people, yet it is rarely discussed openly. Filmmaker Dennis Allen, who took his first drink when he was just a boy, bravely recounts the personal demons he conquered on his journey to sobriety. Honest and courageous, Crazywater uncovers several stories of addiction, revealing the very human face of an issue that is often purposefully hidden. Through their shared experiences, Allen and his fellow subjects provide a much-needed first step towards healing and offer inspiration to fellow alcoholics, proving that sobriety is possible."--nfb.ca.
