The “Boy Interrupted” free movie event will be held on Tuesday 28th March 2023 at The National Theatre (Green Room), Uganda National Cultural Center starting at 6:30pm.
“Boy Interrupted” is a powerful and moving documentary that sheds light on the devastating effects of mental illness. Mental illness is a topic that is often stigmatized and misunderstood. However, the documentary “Boy Interrupted” seeks to change that.
This film takes an intimate look at one family’s journey through the devastating effects of mental illness, particularly the story of their son who tragically committed suicide. Evan Perry was a 15-year-old boy who struggled with bipolar disorder and ultimately died by suicide in 2005.
The documentary promises to be an emotional and enlightening experience for all who attend.We encourage everyone to join us for this important event and to help raise awareness about mental health issues. Entrance will be free for all, so don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity.
Additionally, mental health experts will be on hand to provide resources and support for those who may be struggling with mental illness themselves or know someone who is.
