Bennie Wint's narrative is a profound recount of his life transformation initiated in 1989 when he fled South Carolina for Alabama amid a storm, abandoning an addictive lifestyle and oppressive relationships. With a new name and identity, he sought recovery and a chance for a better future. However, his past haunted him until 2009 when he re-emerged in the public eye. Filmmaker Jesper Wachtmeister captures Wint's compelling story, focusing on themes of rebirth and unexplored consequences tied to abandoning one’s past, albeit from a singular perspective devoid of voices from his former life.
Bennie Wint recalls fleeing his troubled past, adopting a new identity to escape addiction, and the consequences of his choices surface years later.
In the process of starting over, Wint reveals how escaping his old life allowed him to redefine himself, despite the absence of his past loved ones.
