Breaking "The Stigma"

Amy and Lisa sit down with two North Shore filmmakers, Ari Braun and Eden Grunsberg, to discuss their film "The Stigma." The documentary is a raw look into the struggles teens experience in sharing their mental illness with friends. What is so compelling about the documentary is that these filmmakers are themselves teens. Amy and Lisa expand the conversation with Ari and Eden to their thoughts and feelings about their teen world out from behind the camera. Agi Semrad, Founder and Executive Director of The Balance Project, which sponsored the production, also joins the conversation and explains the resources available through this nonprofit.SHOW NOTES:The Balance ProjectA Chicagoland viewing  of The Stigma documentary will occur on May 1st  7-8:30 p.m. at the JCC 300 Revere Drive, Northbrook, IL 60062.Have an idea for a podcast topic or guest?
