The journey follows an array of characters, including a musician, poet, artist, comedian, medical doctor and filmmaker as they make sense of their own personal journeys with mental difficulties through reflection, creativity, confrontation and seeking professional help. By probing an issue that is neglected and often taboo, the hope is that they pave a brave new way forward that inspires an attitude change in our communities and gives people hope. Through different and often difficult personal reflections the film investigates limited access to mental health services and the destructive ripple effects of neglecting mental health. The 52-minute version will be available soon. Written by sara See less
