THE SHAKEN TREE
Sponsored by Transitions-Mental Health Association
Monday, March 10 — 7:15pm Downtown Cinemas World Premiere
Families of mental health patients candidly discuss the challenges of living with this misunderstood disease.
There is a powerful stigma that surrounds victims of mental illness. It’s effect on relationships with friends and relatives can be absolutely crushing. Unlike cancer or any other problem, this disability is often referred to as the ‘No Tuna Casserole’ illness. Many people even friends and family tend to drift away and avoid the victim instead of getting closer in time of need. This is a powerful story, told by a number of families sharing their collective journeys through awareness, pain, acceptance, and finally hope and survival. Director Mary Garcia Lemus and Producer Jose Lemus will be in attendance. Documentary. USA. 30 m. Screens with A Creative Life: Who is Ed Harvey?
