Here One Day (2012)

September 17, 2015 at 5:30 pm in 26-100

On September 17, Active Minds @ MIT will be partnering with the LSC for a screening of Here One Day directed by Kathy Leichter. Dinner will be provided at 5:30 p.m. before the film starts at 6 p.m. in 26-100. After the movie, filmmaker Kathy Leichter will lead a discussion with the audience.

When filmmaker Kathy Leichter moved back to the apartment she grew up in after her mother’s suicide, she discovered a hidden box of audiotapes. Sixteen years passed before she had the courage to delve into this trove, unearthing details that her mother had recorded about every aspect of her life, from the challenges of her marriage to a New York state senator, to her son’s estrangement, to the highs and lows of living with bipolar disorder.

Here One Day is a visually arresting, emotionally candid film about a woman coping with mental illness, her relationships with her family, and the ripple effects of her suicide on those she loved. [www.hereoneday.com]
