SOBER is a feature-length documentary that follows a group of people who have risen from the ashes of addiction in Los Angeles, proving that recovery isn’t just about getting sober, but also about reclaiming joy, strength, and community. The film explores the rise of The Phoenix, a nonprofit founded by Scott Strode, as it evolves from a single man's journey to sobriety through fitness and connection into a nationwide movement of over one million people united by the power of community in recovery.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

The Phoenix is a nationwide sober active community that leverages the power of connection and shared experience to help people rise, recover, and thrive. This film captures just a glimpse of what The Phoenix is building across the country.

Programs include fitness classes, art and music, mindfulness, and social events—all free to anyone with 48 hours of sobriety. NewForm accelerates this mission by making Phoenix’s model accessible digitally, connecting individuals to recovery and mental wellness communities wherever they are. Together, they are building a movement that is transforming how society approaches recovery and mental health.
