Reviews

Phil Borges' and Kevin Tomlinson's new documentary CRAZYWISE is a game changer. It's going to be an important step forward in starting the long overdue conversation on how we define and treat mental illness in America.

If I had seen Crazywise or heard it's transformative message 25 years ago I may not have felt condemned to a life of suffering when I was given a psychiatric diagnosis. Instead, I may have felt a sense of hope that I could find an accepting community that would help me grow and find meaning in my experiences.
