The Extra Innings Movie - and Podcast
A few years ago, I had the honor of speaking at an event to increase mental illness and suicide awareness, and to built support for an independent film called "Extra Innings." -described this way on imdb: "Set against the enchanting backdrop of 1960's Brooklyn, Extra Innings tell the story of a young man who is caught between pursuing his dream (baseball) and staying devoted to his Syrian Jewish family that is afflicted with mental illness."
I have stayed in touch with the creator of the film, and last night was honored to be a guest on his podcast. We talked about schizophrenia, family, stigma, support, and so much more.
