Wed 21 October 2015

Good Girl
Resourceful filmmaker Solveig Melkeraaen is used to succeeding in everything she does. But when she receives a diagnosis of severe depression, she tries everything to return to her old self. Electroconvulsive therapy is the solution and quickly gives Solveig her life back, but the treatment raises questions about what it really means to be herself. This personal documentary explores perfection, control and fear with exuberance and wit.
Followed by a post-screening discussion with Kate Mollison (Counsellor and Therapist, Resilient Mindset), hosted by SMHAFF Film Curator Richard Warden.
