Action Alerts /Congratulate the maker of Crooked Beauty on reshaping mental health stigmas!
From the filmmaker:
Crooked Beauty is a poetic documentary that chronicles artist-activist Jack McNamara’s transformative journey from childhood abuse to psych warn patient to pioneering mental health advocacy. It is an intimate portrait of her intense personal quest to live with courage and dignity, and a powerful critique of standard psychiatric treatments. Poignant testimonials connect the fissures and fault lines of human nature to the unstable topography and mercurial weather patterns of the San Francisco Bay Area. Crooked Beauty reshapes mental health stigmas through a new healing culture and political model for living with madness as a tool of creativity, inspiration, and hope.

Dear Mr. Rosenthal,
I want to applaud you on your recent project, Crooked Beauty, and the steps you are taking to eliminate mental health stigma throughout our community, country, and world. Efforts like yours help our society acquire accurate depictions of mental health patients while also encouraging those who may be silently suffering to reach out and seek help. Mental illness either directly or indirectly affects nearly every human being, so your willingness to bring transparency to a traditionally taboo issue should be celebrated.
Thank you.
