ABOUT THE FILM - A Drop of Sunshine (35 min. HDV. Documentary. English, 2011, India)
Schizophrenia. It may be one word, but it immediately conjures up multiple connotations.
Mad. Incurable. Violent. Suicidal. Chemical imbalances. Crazy. A lifelong condition. Inevitable dependency on Medicines. Dark. Terrible.
Schizophrenia, mainstream psychiatry believes, is a chemical imbalance in the head. It believes that it occurs because of genetic vulnerability, which gets triggered because of psycho-social stressors in a person’s immediate environment.
A Drop of Sunshine chronicles Reshma’s story and takes a controversial and contrarian view towards recovery from Schizophrenia, proposing that the only treatment method that can work in the condition is one where the so-called ‘patient’ is encouraged and empowered to become an equal partner in the process of healing.
