and tired of being blamed for causing their children’s schizophrenia. They built a grassroots movement
and launched a multi-pronged rebellion. ‘When Medicine Got it Wrong’ opens a hidden chapter of recent American history, one where
parents declared “Yes We Can” and took on doctors, politicians and the cultural fear surrounding schizophrenia. From Producer Katie
Cadigan and Director/Writer Laura Murray.

People Say I'm Crazy is the only film about schizophrenia ever made by someone with schizophrenia. Mental
illness is viewed from the inside out as the audience becomes witness to a first-hand account of the symptoms of
schizophrenia and the disease's effect on one man and his family. People Say I'm Crazy has been hailed as a
unique, powerful, and ultimately optimistic statement on coping with schizophrenia, challenging stereotypes and
humanizing an often misunderstood illness.
