THEY
HEARD VOICES investigates schizophrenia an “illness” with no “cure” the
label has persisted for over a century. This film offers multiple
perspectives: Is schizophrenia hard science? Or an arbitrary, catch-all
term with no real meaning? What does it mean for those experiencing
psychosis? The film is a series of wide-ranging interviews with voice
hearers, medical historians, anthropologists and psychiatrists from
Britain and America, presenting different people’s views.
Featuring:
Erin Emiru, Rai Waddingham, Kevin Healey, Mark Roininen, Dr Angela
Woods, Edward Shorter, Dr Avery Krisman, Dr Albert Wong, Suman Fernando,
and Dr Stefen Ecks.
