The region's current affairs programme tells the story of one family's extraordinary fight against alcoholism. Joe Quinn , from Cooks-town in County Tyrone, was an alcoholic who ended up drinking over two bottles of vodka a day. It almost destroyed him, his marriage and his family.
The film tells his story through the eyes of his family, friends, the barman who served him drink, and the man who cured him. Reporter Gavin Esler
