Hot Docs VIDEO: Four decades of screwing people over leaves a lot of apologies to be made.


The documentary Despicable Dick & Righteous Richard is about Richard "Dick" Kuchera, a former drunk who is trying to make it through a 12-step alcoholism program. As part of his recovery, Dick needs to make amends for the things he has done in the past. The Mark had the opportunity to interview director Joshua Neale about making the journey from despicable to righteous.
