Description
This
is a film about children who thought they were “crazy.” Who wanted to die. Who
felt fear, anger and hopelessness. Four young people living with mental
illness and their loved ones make the courageous decision to open up about
their stories. Their voices are complemented by that of the director, who was
diagnosed with bipolar disorder as an adult and powerfully evokes the initial
symptoms, which emerged in her childhood. Racing Thoughts skirts
the specialists’ debates in favour of a more personal tone, moving away from
the alarming vocabulary of diagnoses and allowing viewers to discover the
children affected.
