Text: About This Film

A sensitive and thought provoking film, which aims to platform a mixed media, abstract approach to gaining an insight into the lives of young people living with mental health issues today. This documentary incorporates the use of photography, music, spoken word and traditional filmmaking techniques to highlight issues of growing concern and contention. The film is visually very compelling and the issues raised are honest and emotional. It expresses the creativity of the group involved and the film is a tribute to the young people, aged 15 - 17 years, who were encouraged and guided by professional filmmaker Chris Bradley. It is a memorable piece that will affect all those who see it and promote discussion about mental health issues for some time to come.
