The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Julie is a survivor of psychiatry, in the pursuit of the autonomy to redefine her present and reinvent her future in spite of the biomedical model who deemed her to be “80% mentally disabled.” Could her childhood trauma and unusual experiences be grounds for identity and culture, resistance and meaning?

Julie on line is directed by Mia Ma.
