CRAZY - A DOCUMENTARY FEATURE FILM
CRAZY takes you inside one young man's struggle with mental illness, his family, psychiatric medications, the local mental health system, and the right to make his own treatment decisions. Panel discussion and community resources will complete the screening.
“A powerful and important film that will prompt viewers to think deeply about society’s 'forced treatment' of people diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, and whether it violates their fundamental rights as citizens. This film asks the audience to see and feel this question from the perspective of the person being “treated,” and it makes for an unsettling experience indeed.”-- Robert Whitaker: Author, Anatomy of an Epidemic, award winning medical journalist
