An extremely engaging documentary that unites two Hong Kong female artists – film director Yan Yan Mak and Canto-pop star Denise Ho. Together they are raising the profile of mental illness and the attitudes of society towards it; Ho’s album Ten Days in the Madhouse follows the same theme and this film is smartly edited into ten related chapters for the ten album tracks. Over 20 people are interviewed, including psychiatrists, singers, and artists who have all fought with mental illness.
Showing as part of the This Darling Life: Documentaries strand, exploring the wide range of documentaries made by women directors in Hong Kong.
