Crooked Beauty Trailer 1

Uploaded by KenPaulRosenthal on Apr 14, 2010
Crooked Beauty is a poetic documentary that chronicles artist-activist Jacks McNamara's transformative journey from childhood abuse to psych ward patient to pioneering mental health advocacy. It is an intimate portrait of her intense personal quest to live with courage and dignity, and a powerful critique of standard psychiatric treatments. Poignant testimonials connect the fissures and fault lines of human nature to the unstable topography and mercurial weather patterns of the San Francisco Bay Area. Crooked Beauty reshapes mental health stigmas through a new healing culture and political model for living with madness as a tool of creativity, inspiration and hope. www.crookedbeauty.com

I watched this before I read "a poetic documentary" in the description. Just wanted to say that my first impression was haunting urban imagery and beautiful prose-poetry. Lovely.

This is deep, personal, inner voice, a lot of questions and answers. YOU ARE RIGHT. You are a filmmaker.
