À propos
People with mental health issues are surviving and thriving in our community. Too often, however, society sees us at our weakest and doesn’t understand our unique strengths, abilities, and all that we have to offer. This festival features a line-up of films exploring the stigmas confronting people with psychiatric disabilities—and demonstrating the resilience of the human spirit to cope with the worst of times and the importance of family and community in promoting healing.
