God Knows Where I Am screening
2018-Jun-19 @ 19:00 - 20:37
The Cinema will screen God Knows Where I Am (Jedd Wider, Todd Wider, U.S. 2016, 97 min.) as part of the Reel Mind Theatre and Film Series followed by a Q&A with Larry Guttmacher, and Greg Soehner.
After being released from a psychological medical facility, Linda Bishop walked down the road, discovered an abandoned farmhouse and moved in. A prisoner of her own mind, she survived for four months on apples and rainwater, during one of the coldest winters on record. When her body was found the next spring, beside her was a diary documenting her journey of starvation and loss of sanity, but told with poignance, beauty, humor, and spirituality. Both a study of systemic failure and also a testament to the artistic and independent spirit of Linda Bishop, the film poses many provocative questions including the issue of civil liberties of the mentally ill—if one's mind is not free, can one truly exercise free will?
