Letters From Generation Rx Film Tells Stories Of Real People On Rx Meds

CLEVELAND - Sept. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- You or loved one is suffering under the diagnosis of ADHD, bipolar, schizophrenia, or depression. You’ve done everything the doctors have instructed – from a mind-boggling array of medications to perhaps even an aggressive regimen of electro-convulsive therapy, but you or your loved one continues to slip further into darkness.

You are frightened – fearful of the life you – or they may have to lead.

What would you do – accept the condition as fate, or search the world to find a cure? 

It is a question millions face every day.

LETTERS FROM GENERATION RX is the latest film by international award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller. After the release of his documentary GENERATION RX, which two-time Academy Award® winner Paul Haggis called "a powerful and often chilling eye-opener," Miller received thousands of letters from parents, teens, educators and others who shared their highly personal sagas. This film reflects those stories — combined with the latest mental health research, science, and medical health perspectives.

The filmmaker spent two years interviewing some of the world’s most respected researchers, MDs, journalists, politicians, and academics, and focused on dozens of others whose lives became inextricably linked to the medications they were prescribed. In doing so, the director features a breathtaking array of stories, from those who lost it all – to those who came back from the brink of agony and angst and desperation to a place of true wellness.

LETTERS FROM GENERATION RX weaves together an astonishing tapestry of highly personal stories that will change how many of us view mental health and the treatments being used to treat tens of millions of people. It is where darkness meets light — and science meets truth.

Writer/Director Kevin P. Miller has a long history of producing powerful and award-winning films. His films have won seven international film awards, received Emmy nominations and a dozen regional awards for such films as "Kids in Crisis," "The War Within," "The Promised Land" and more.

Kola Films has already interviewed 40-50 people, and captured over 60 hours of one-of-a-kind stories - with striking cinematography.

Like GENERATION RX before it, this film will be essential viewing for those interested in an intelligent conversation about both the causes of mental illness and the treatments that are being deployed in the latest battle for the brain.
