••• I Never Promised You a Rose Garden author Joanne Greenberg speaks about how her bestselling novel—about recovery from schizophrenia—relates to her own life experience of having had schizophrenia. In reality Joanne Greenberg has been fully recovered (and off medications) for over fifty years. I also added some footage of Catherine Penney, who also recovered fully from schizophrenia and is the subject of Daniel Dormans book Dantes Cure. Both women are featured prominently in my film Take These Broken Wings, a 75-minute documentary on recovery from schizophrenia without medication (available through ). I recorded over seventeen hours of interviews for the documentary, and want to place some key pieces of the extra footage onto YouTube—for the world to see. There was so much great material, and unfortunately I just couldnt fit it all into the film.
