challenging dark emotional sad tense slow-paced

4.0

A slow paced, eye opening, realistic look at what schzophrenia looks like day to day as opposed to it's depiction in media. So sad that the brothers suffer(ed) with little to no understanding, but amazing that the family's DNA was being used to further research and make modern discoveries.

This has a docuseries adaption (ish) on some platform; it was interesting to actually get to hear some of the brothers talk about their own ideas of their experience. Interesting to think about the morality of allowing the sister to speak for the deceased ones, etc. Very messy when you start thinking about it that way though.
