Randi Isaksen, news-anchor at RECOVERY CHANNEL, struggles to help her sister in a broken mental health system. Told through dueling prisms of documentary and narrative storytelling, Filmmaker Ellen Ugelstad unravels the complex issues of mental health, human rights and the use of coercion. Watch the trailer below.
Mental health is a growing priority in global health policy and human rights discussions. This one-night-only film screening will dissect this intersection and address the human rights violations witnessed in today's mental health care system and practices.
The screening will include an opening address from Ambassador Tormod C. Endresen, Norway's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, followed by a post-screening Q&A/discussion with the film’s Director, Ellen Ugelstad. The event will conclude with a networking reception with drinks and canapes.
