Boy Interrupted
When Evan Perry was 15, he fell to his death from the window of his bedroom in New York City on Oct. 2, 2005. In this heartfelt film, Evan's parents and other people who knew him tell the story of Evan's life and death, as well as his long battle with bipolar disorder. During this book, Evan's family tells about their journey through the maze of mental illness, and it shows how complicated Evan's disease is. Defiance: By showing how a single family copes with years of loss and grief, this film breaks down a long-held stigma about mental illness and suicide. It tells a human story that everyone can relate to.
