A documentary about a woman who is a nurse, wife and mother. She suffers from alcoholism and her death is the direct result of that disease. The film shows how the disease progressed within her and the many times she attempted to quit, but eventually relapsed. It is a more personal look at the disease of alcoholism, rather than a clinical study. It uses family photographs, interviews from family members and co-workers of the woman named Bette. It also covers the stigma that stops women from seeking help to move forward and away from the grips of heavy drinking and offers hope for others to learn to cope without alcohol in their lives.
My Name Was Bette: The Life and Death of an Alcoholic is a 2014 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.0.
