Imagining Robert: My Brother, Madness,
and Survival |
|
For 17 million Americans, severe, long-term mental illness is
a fact of life—a fact little understood by the majority of their fellow citizens. In
an effort to raise public awareness of the day-to-day impact mental illness has on
families, this intimate documentary profiles Robert Neugeboren and his brother, Jay, as
decade after decade they cope with Robert’s schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Drawing on Jay’s heart-rending yet uplifting family memoir of the same title, the
program deftly reveals the engaging personality of Robert while expressing Jay’s
considerable frustration in dealing with the mental health establishment. As instructive
as it is insightful, Imagining Robert is ideal for opening a sympathetic dialogue on the
treatment and impact of mental disorders. A Study Guide and other resources are located
online at www.imaginingrobert.org. (56 minutes, color)
