If you're in a place where you feel like you can't find the connection or you can't find the hope that you're looking for in terms of resources and community that there are, there are other places out there where that community and those connections are so prevalent.

Moyers sits down with Tucker R., who shares his raw and candid journey from alcohol and heroin addiction to a life filled with hope and purpose.
