In just 120 seconds this film both shocks and challenges the viewer to examine their attitudes to those people who suffer from mental health problems.
The setting is austere, a guy snorting cocaine from a photograph of his wife and baby, an underweight girl lacing her corset while mirror gazing, a young man curled at the end of a bed and an elderly lady drinking tea in a world of her own.
“You coke head”
“Why don't you just eat something”
“Cheer up, you miserable git”
“Crazy old bitch mum”
Nobody will leave the cinema without hearing the clear message: ‘1 in 4’ people suffer with mental health problems.
“1 in 4 - it could be me…it could be you… That made you think. Enjoy your film.”
This film is to be shown from 3 November as a trailer in Warner Cinemas until December, launched for World Mental Health Day and produced as part of the Changing Minds campaign. The team involved in making this film should be congratulated on the production of a film that will proclaim the message across the land.
