Angelico, Unbreakable Minds captures the emotional journeys of Randy,
Brad and Rob as they struggle with schizophrenia and depression. A
poignant, humorous and unforgettable portrayal of three charming and
engaging characters, Unbreakable Minds takes us through their experiences
from the inside looking out.
Ignoring his inner voices, Brad makes enormous strides as he leaves
his bedroom hide-out to become a straight-A student. At 42 years
old, Rob, a former radio DJ, is separated from his mother for the
first time only to find "paradise" in a group home. When
his doctor tries a new medication, Randy plummets in his worst-ever
episode. Later, he laughs at his own delusion that he was slated
to become the next member of Guns 'N Roses.
Behind each of them is a devoted family offering their support,
while also fighting to dispel the age-old stigma and stereotypes
surrounding mental illness. With the invaluable guidance of WilPower,
a unique housing and support centre, our subjects and their families
maintain courage and hope. Through their heroic struggles, they
present a challenge to society -- to smash the last taboo. |
