A Drop of Sunshine(2011)
A story of Schizophrenia. Of Hope. Beyond the conventional. Beyond medications and of embracing the uncertainty.
A Drop of Sunshine Synopsis
Schizophrenia. It may be one word, but it immediately conjures up multiple connotations. Mad. Incurable. Violent. Suicidal. Chemical imbalances. Crazy. A lifelong condition. Inevitable dependency on Medicines. Dark. Terrible. 'A Drop of Sunshine' challenges these notions. It questions the mainstream view of the condition and seeks alternate ways of recovering from it. Through the powerful story of its young and gutsy protagonist, Reshma Valiappan, it seeks to give viewers a new vocabulary to address the stigmatized mental illness. The film proposes that the only treatment method that can work in Schizophrenia is one where the so-called 'patient' is encouraged and empowered to become an equal partner in the process of healing.
A Drop of Sunshine (2011) is a documentary film directed by Aparna Sanyal, released on August 4, 2011 with a runtime of 40m. It stars Reshma Valliappan.
