Worldwide Screening of "Healing Voices"

April 29, 2016 & May 2, 2016

ISEPP will be hosting the screening of a new 90-minute social action documentary about mental health called "Healing Voices" written and directed by PJ Moynihan of Digital Eyes Film. It will screen in more than 120 locations across the US, Canada, UK, New Zealand, and Australia beginning April 29th. The documentary explores the experience commonly labeled as ‘psychosis’ through the stories of real-life individuals, and asks the question: What are we talking about when we talk about ‘mental illness’? The film follows three subjects – Oryx, Jen, Dan – over nearly five years, and features interviews with notable international experts including: Robert Whitaker, Dr. Bruce Levine, Celia Brown, Will Hall, Dr. Marius Romme, and others, on the history of psychiatry and the rise of the ‘medical model’ of mental illness. The screening will take place at the College of Southern Maryland, La Plata, MD. There will be two screenings: April 29, 2016, 9:00am: College of Southern Maryland, La Plata, MD. Building LR, Rm 102. This screening is for CSM students only. May 2, 2016, 6:00pm: College of Southern Maryland. Building BI, Rm 113E. This screening is open to the public.
