A Guy Called Dad

A must see!
If you have a family member with a severe mental illness (or know someone who does), this is a must see. Poignant, touching, funny and sad, this unique look at the life of a schizophrenic (from the perspective of his own child) will haunt you for days. It is also a way to educate yourself about the subject matter. Don't miss the bonus features!

Poignant and Heartfelt
This video is a realistic portrayal of what it's like to live with a schizophrenic parent. Stand-up comedian and writer, Kacey Arnold, uses her unique brand of humor to illuminate the many challenges inherent to a relationship with a schizophrenic. The DVD is a must-see for any one living with schizophrenia.

A Guy Called Dad
"A Guy Called Dad: A Daughter's Journey" is a intimate and revealing documentary that explores how mental health (schizophrenia) effects a father / daughter relationship. The complex array of affective, behavioral, cognitive and perceptual components makes even the simplest of tasks a real challenge.

Producer/Director Kacey Arnold sheds light on the realities and complexities of mental illness with sensitivity and humor. This documentary is a "must see" for anyone who is impacted by a psychological or behavioral disorder. Stigma and discrimination add to the suffering associated with disorders. I feel that this film compliments the greater social movement towards increased awareness and acceptance. Well done.
