Drunk On Too Much Life
Directed by Michelle Melles
In a world gone crazy, a young woman discovers that her madness is a fierce and powerful gift that makes her more fully human. DRUNK ON TOO MUCH LIFE is an intimate and powerful documentary following the filmmaker's 21-year-old daughter’s mind-opening journey from locked-down psych wards and diagnostic labels towards expansive worlds of creativity, connection and greater meaning. On their journey, the family begins to question the widespread idea that mental illness should be understood in purely biological terms. They learn the myriad ways that madness has meaning that goes far beyond brain chemistry.
