The theme this year is stomping out stigma. We have selected four films.
1. 12:00 pm. Smoke Alarm
2. 12:30 pm. Our feature film "Stop pointing" is a full length film. This film is compromised of 6 people telling their stories on fighting stigma, from our relatives, our potential employers and society at large.
3. 1:00 pm. The "crazy enough to care." This is the true story of a father who battled manic depression for 10 years. He fought the stigma that he was unable to be productive. He started a non profit that travels to psychiatric wards, hospitals and nursing homes to spread love through music and comedy.
4. 1:30 pm. Discussion and Lunch.
5. 4:00 pm. Our last film is "Open Space". Open space is a documentary about 4 people you would not assume to be mental health recipients who find ways to cope with their psychiatric disabilities. The movie ends with a surprise, revealing someone you never would suspect is a mental health recipient.
You have to check out our website.
