Racing Thoughts. Children and Mental Illness

Description

This documentary profiles four young people who are living with mental illness - and also shows their loved ones who make the courageous decision to tell their own stories. Their voices are complemented by director Louiselle Noel, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as an adult and powerfully evokes the initial symptoms that emerged in her childhood. The film skirts the specialists' debates in favor of a more personal tone, moving away from the alarming vocabulary of diagnoses and allowing viewers to discover the children affected.
