About the Film
Schizophrenia. It may be one word, but
conjures up multiple connotations - Mad. Incurable. Violent. Suicidal. Chemical
imbalances. Crazy. A lifelong condition. Inevitable dependency on Medicines.
Dark. Terrible. The Film takes us through the story of Reshma Valliappan, a
30-year old Indian woman, and charts out her journey of eventual triumph over
her condition. It takes a controversial and contrarian view towards recovery
from Schizophrenia, proposing that the only treatment method that can work in
the condition is one where the so-called ‘patient’ is encouraged and empowered
to become an equal partner in the process of healing.
Online Screening Dates: the film will be available for online viewing from 10th October to 14th October,
