| Synopsis
What do you do when your brother descends into a black hole of mental instability - starting with falling for a Nigerian email scam but eventually winding up involuntary committed into the hospital made famous by 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'? Award-winning filmmaker Sandra Luckow unflinchingly turns her camera on her own family as they attempt to navigate the broken mental health system in an effort to save their brother, whose iPhone video diary ultimately becomes an unfiltered look at the mind of a man with untreated schizophrenia as well as an indictment of how the system failed.

The most honest portrayal of how severe mental illness ravages families and lives that I have seen." - Pete Earley, Author of The Hot House and Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness Links Mental illness in your family?
