Mental health crisis documentary to screen at The Bookshelf

A Canadian documentary about mental health is premiering at the Bookshelf Cinema on May 31. 

Titled Insanity: The Mental Health Crisis, the film is an intimate story from writer, director and producer Wendy Hill-Trout, whose brother had schizophrenia and disappeared 25 years ago.

The film aims to raise awareness and spark discussion about the growing crisis of mental illness, and the way society treats those people. 

Hill-Tout is also the director of 2020 film Marlene, based on the true story of Marlene Truscott, who spent 45 years trying to clear her husband's name of a crime he didn’t commit. It played in Guelph last year. 

The showing starts at 6:30 p.m., and there will be a Q&A after with Hill-Tout.
