In 2007, HBO won an Emmy for The Addiction Project, an unprecedented
multi-media campaign aimed at helping Americans understand addiction as a
treatable brain disease, as well as spotlighting new medical advancements. A
centerpiece of the campaign was a feature-length documentary film, ADDICTION,
an eye-opening series that offered a candid depiction of the emotional,
psychological, social and political toll that addiction takes on the country.
Topics covered included: the nature of addiction, addiction in the workplace,
and the protracted insurance battles waged by families, as well as the
difficulty of finding and getting adequate treatment. The film brought together
the nation's leading experts with award- winning filmmakers, and was produced
by John Hoffman and Susan Froemke; and executive produced by Sheila Nevins.
