The Internet version of the highly regarded documentary "Addict: Racing
for Recovery, The Todd Crandell Story" is now available for immediate
download via this site with a $10 donation.
This
documentary was produced in Toledo, Ohio, over a year and a half, starting
in Spring 2002. "Addict" examines the life and struggle for
sobriety of Todd Crandell from birth to present day. The scope of the
film covers his childhood, the failed promise of a hockey career, his
descent into the abyss of drug and alcohol addiction, and his climb to
independence. It also looks at his participation in the Ironman Triathlon's
grueling 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile marathon run.
In this documentary we're introduced to Racing for Recovery, Crandell's
non-profit organization whose mission is to help prevent drug and alcohol
abuse.
This moving film features interviews with family members, Crandell's
high school hockey coach, retired professional hockey player Patrick Jablonski,
friends and Crandell himself telling this amazing and riveting story of
his fall and rise.
The premiere of "Addict" was a tremendous success with close
to 450 witnessing this riveting and motivating film. "Addict"
will now be shown in various cities across the country to help spread
the mission of Racing for Recovery.
