Directed by Liz Garbus, this urgent and intimate documentary confronts the hidden crisis of families navigating the complex world of mental illness in their children. Through the raw and personal stories of parents like Liza Long and Creigh Deeds, the film pulls back the curtain on the desperate struggles faced when a child's mind becomes a place of danger, both to themselves and others. As these families grapple with a fractured healthcare system and societal stigma, experts including Thomas Insel and Andrew Solomon provide context to the escalating national dilemma. The film weaves together these poignant narratives to explore the terrifying question of what happens when love is not enough and a parent's greatest fear becomes their everyday reality. This gripping and emotionally charged journey sheds light on the human cost of a broken system and the resilient fight for understanding and change.
