A trailer for the Robertson's 30-minute video suggests that the family will share stories about patriarch Phil Robertson's struggles with alcohol and infidelity.
"I owned a beer joint when some guy came in with a Bible and he wanted to introduce me to Jesus. I ran him away," Phil shares in the trailer for the video.
Phil's wife, Kay said that the days were dark in their family before Phil did turn his life around.
"The drinking got worse," Kay added, as reported in ABC News. "And I knew then but I didn't want to believe it; [he] was running around on me. And what I would tell my boys all the time is, 'That's not your daddy. That's the devil in your daddy.'"
"You can only run the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll so far," Phil admitted later.
The Robertsons' video will debut on Thursday, November 21.
