Robert’s views of the world demand that we give each other room to live free, yet take care of others who need help. His unique social perspective was formed on the working-class streets of Philadelphia, where sometimes, the most effective charitable act included an educational punch in the nose.

Avid cyclists, Robert and his wife, the acclaimed underwater explorer, author, and filmmaker Jill Heinerth, rode over 7000 km across Canada to search for their perfect home. In 2018, they moved to Jill’s birth country of Canada, taking up residence in a quiet bicycle-friendly community. As Creative Director of Heinerth Productions, Inc., Robert explores his boundaries every day. Whether it is a new documentary film idea or a book project, he embraces the opportunity to create something that he can be proud of, that will resonate with people around the world.

From the darkness of alcoholism and addiction to the light of recovery, remarkable people share their stories of recovery and hope.

A brutally honest group of remarkable people share their intimate journey from the darkness of drug and alcohol addiction to the light of successful sobriety. From a Harley riding, sober, motorcycle club to world-renowned, recovering psychotherapists, each personal story is intriguing and inspirational. This colorful collection of speakers features a chopper riding prison chaplain who shares his message of hope with death row inmates, a former heroin addicted ballerina who now works as a recovery coach in a sober coffee house, a rational skeptic whose scientific approach to sobriety is being embraced by more people each day, and others who openly share their experience, strength and hope.

Real Sobriety is for that alcoholic or addict who is white knuckling it, rocking in their seat, and sweating through thier bed sheets with the anxiety of a new day in recovery. It features real people sharing remarkable stories of what it used to be like when they were out there, and what life is like today, clean, sober, productive and happy. This film is being used by individuals, groups and treatment centers all over the world.

No reading between the lines – great grandpa was a bad ass, and the leaders of his day knew how to make tough decisions. After the war, they came home, used the GI Bill to…
